Today starts the official remote learning. I will still be updating and following the ELA calendar that has been shared, is here on my blog and in google classroom. Basically, students should read daily and work on writing daily alternating between GUM and creative writing. Skills will be incorporated through presentations and discussions connecting to what students are reading. We will be starting a new unit at the beginning of May, so I will send out an email with any updates and details at the end of April.
For 6th grade ELA, remote learning will not change much as we have already been on zoom discussion/instructional chats. The only change will be an added office hours from 9:30 to 10:30am through google meets. This is an opportunity for students to ask questions in person over content and assignments but is not mandatory as the zoom covers new instruction for now. To join the office hours meet, please go to https://meet.google.com/ and enter the nickname sent in the last email. I am happy to resend it if needed.
To try and make remote learning less confusing, I am keeping the Zoom chats and dates the same. Some Zoom times have changed so that they do not conflict with office hours for other subjects. Zoom also has added the password feature to ensure meetings are secure. ID and passwords have have been emailed out, so please email me if you would like the information resent.
