I will be available to chat via email on Thursdays at 11am-12pm. I will be answering right away during this block of time. We will be able to discuss any questions and practice material together. I will also be available by email any day during the week.
I will email parents the new Activity Choice Chart each Friday for the upcoming week as well as posting it here on our class web-page. I have given your child the opportunity of emailing assignments for feedback (this is optional). I would love the opportunity to see their progress.

PLEASE REMEMBER:
· The virtual plan will continue to evolve as we learn how to navigate during this unprecedented time. We appreciate your patience.
· All the activities posted and provided are optional. Students will not be held accountable for work done outside of school. No grades will be given.
· Home learning can be complicated for parents, teachers, and students. Many teachers, while determined to stay connected with their students, often will also be coping with their own children and other family members; amid their “home office.”
· Our goal is not to overwhelm families, but to provide support, guidance, and resources to help you find learning resources that are most appropriate for your family.
