Online Learning Day 1

GOOGLE CLASSROOM CODE: z6i646u

 Hello Grade 6 Students & Families,

Welcome to our first day of school, ONLINE!  I miss seeing you all! First and foremost, remember this is going to be a learning curve for all of us, but we will figure it out together. Our primary focus is going to be on math and literacy, and I will try and integrate other subjects when I can. Currently, assignments will only receive feedback and will NOT be assigned a letter grade/level.  My vision for this is that it will be as interactive as possible. I don't necessarily know how yet, but I am hoping to explore some different avenues this week with you. 

I will be posting regularly to our classroom blog. But, I have also opened a google docs (Class Code: z6i646u ) Please remember, when we are interacting or commenting on either the blog or google classroom we need to always be "professional". I will be monitoring this and anything that I feel does not belong will be removed. All assignments will be submitted either through google docs or google classroom. 

 Student expectations:

- Log on to Google Classroom CLASS CODE z6i646u

- You should be checking the blog daily (Monday -Friday)

- You should be checking our google classroom daily (Monday to Friday)

- You should be completing 30 minutes of literacy per day 

-You should be completing 30 minutes of math per day

-If you have any questions throughout the process you can leave a comment or email me. I will be checking this regularly throughout the day

-Flex Activities are provided for those who are interested 

 Parents, we are going to need your support through this process as well. Our classroom blog will be a great place for you to keep updated on what is happening as well.  Remember the students are very comfortable with technology. Our blog, google docs and other technology has been integrated into our program since day one. Communication is going to be key. Please, do not get stressed by this. If at any point you need some clarification or assistance do not hesitate to email.

 What an exciting adventure we are on TOGETHER! I am so excited to learn with you and work with you all!

Talk to you soon,

Mrs. Breau

Flex Activity Discussion Post - Online Learning: 
This week our discussion post is going to be about “Online Learning”. You are to remember when 
posting online you need to be “professional” and respectful with your comments. 
They will be monitored daily. If you are unable to meet these expectations your commenting ability
 will be turned off. Rate your comfortable level with online learning out of 10
