CLICK ME TO SEE THE BLOG OVERVIEW:


Hello everyone and welcome back to the Teach Simplified blog:
This posting is mostly for the benefit of my current students and their families but could offer ideas for the curious educators, administrators or just general learning nuts out there.

Here is a schedule for you to keep in mind and prepare for.

Thursday (today)
Today is the day for Chromebook pick up from the school for those that were able to sign up in time.  The pick up time runs from 9am to 3pm.
If you were not able to get signed in please go to school website and sign up for one.

Students that have not signed in and set up their emails should do this today.  After today I will simply refer you to previous blog posting to learn how to set it up.  Please reach out to me via text if you need their password.

Friday April 17th (tomorrow)
1) Students have been invited to all of their classes.  You will find an invitation to join the class in your school email.  Be sure that you check in to EACH class.  Checking and reading your email EVERYDAY will be big.  I recommend you check before classes start or at the end of the day.

2) Three of you are ahead of the game and have already talked to me on Google Hangout.  The rest of you need to check your invitation to join a class meeting.  The invitation will be in your email.  
Google Hangout Schedule for Friday April 17th:

1:00-1:30 open to parents for questions about the online learning coming up (must send your email address via text to get the invitation.  Please sign up no later than noon on Friday.

1:30-2:00 Morning Math Class 3rd and 4th Grade Only

2:00-2:30 All 5th Grade Students

2:30-3:00 Afternoon Math Class 3rd and 4th Grade Only

3) Students and Families- be sure to check the blog, Dojo and/or the Google Classroom Homeroom for daily, news, updates and assignments.

Communication
I will continue to update the blog with daily news and things to be mindful of.
I will send out messages on Class Dojo.
I am looking to reduce group texts to reduce repeating messaging.  Please check and see if you were recently invited to ClassDojo and sign up.  It is the easiest way to stay in the loop.
You can also be invited to the Google Classroom Homeroom.  I just need your email in order to do so if you would like to be involved that way.
In the Google Classroom Homeroom, I will also post updates for the next day.

Requests
If there is a topic that you would like to know more about, please leave a comment in my blog at the bottom and I will schedule a time to create something that makes whatever you are curious about easier to learn.
