Greetings Team 201 and 202 Families!
Today we began our third week of "Remote Learning." It is hard to believe!

Here is some GTK information
  • I have posted this week's Activity schedule in Google Classroom. I also sent it via email last night.
  • Assignments will be posted each morning, early.
  • Please "turn in" work within the Assignment on Google Classroom. Otherwise, it will be marked late or missing. When you "turn in" work, I know you are ready for feedback.
  • 201 Google Meets: Monday and Wednesday from 9:30- 10:30 
  • 202 Google Meets: Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30-10:30
  • Themed  Fun Friday Google Meets: 202 9:30-10:00 and  20110:00- 10:30
  • My office hours are from 10:30-12:30 each day. If you contact me during the school day, you will get a quick response. I am online, ready to help and "chat." 
  • Students are encouraged to turn in work by the end of the school day. 
Book Buffet Projects
A+-Several kids have completed the project.
-I will repost the directions on Google Classroom under "Assignments."
-Let's shoot for getting projects done by May 8. 

 Please post photos of finished projects in the Assignment, not to my email or on the "stream." This will help me keep track of the great work you are doing.

I know that you can't go to the store to buy materials. Work with what you have got at home. Let's reuse materials, in honor of Earth Day!

Check out these AMAZING projects done by Cassidy and Jaylee!

Thoughtful Thursday

Can a robot think and feel? Can a robot be annoyed or curious? 


These are just some of the questions that we are discussing in our daily Zoom sessions. I LOVE seeing Team 201 and 202 Fantasticos face to face.  I hope to see more students tuned on April 13, when we will continue our discussions of The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown.  I am really enjoying sharing this book with 201 and 202.



Google Classroom is our new "go-to" spot to find out about Remote Learning assignments and news. New assignments are posted by 8:00 a.m. each morning. 

Remote Learning Tips

  • Students should log in to Google and check emails each morning. Note the times for today's Zoom/Hangout sessions.
  • Next, log on to Google Classroom. Say hello!
  • Click on "Classwork"
  • Look under Reading and find today's date. Click on it and click "view assignment,"
  • Read the directions and open the attachment.
  • Ask questions! I am online early and ready to help. Posting in the "stream" is the fastest way to get help from me or a peer.
  • Make a schedule/daily agenda. Develop a plan to get the work done before dinner! You can do it! Your teachers are here to help. Get in touch with us early to get help with assignments or planning.
  • Don't miss our Zoom/ Hangout sessions. This is a great way to talk to your teachers and classmates "face to face."

FRIDAY SHOW AND TELL
  • Tomorrow, April 3, I will host a "show and tell" session with both 201 and 202. You will have 1 minute to share.
  • 202 will meet at 10:30
  • 201 will meet at 11:30
  • I will email sign in codes Friday morning.
