Snow Day Remote Learning Info

It looks like we may have some upcoming remote learning snow days. I wanted to make you aware of what our days will look like. 

The kids will begin their day with morning work. The first snow day's morning work is to choose ONE item for our Zoom show and tell. It can be a pet or a favorite object. Anything they want to show the class over zoom. Our zoom meeting begins at 8:00. The link is front and center on my Canvas Homepage (https://sau24-org.zoom.us/j/82360336858)  After our meeting, they can get to work on their packets. We have gone over it together already so they should be familiar with what they are expected to do. 

Snack is scheduled for 9:50, but the time is flexible as long as they are working throughout the morning.

There is a writing assignment in the packet. I have told the children that if they'd rather type it on a google doc and email it to me they can. They know how to do that.

Remote Days are counted as early release days. I have told the kids that as long as they have finished their work, their day is technically done at 11:30. If they finish earlier than 11:30, and they have done their work well, they can read or go onto Prodigy, abcya.com, or any of the math or reading gaming websites posted on canvas. They can have lunch after.

The children have a mix of computer and paper assignments to do. Once we are done with our morning meeting, they are working independently. They can click back into the zoom meeting if they have any questions and I can work with them as needed.

Because this is a half day, we are not having the children bring home their chargers. The Chromebooks are going home fully charged and should last just fine. The Chromebooks are to be used for school-related assignments only. If they are worried about the charge, they can do all the computer assignments first and then move on to the paper assignments. Shutting down the Chromebooks will also help maintain the charge. 

Chromebooks and all work are due back the NEXT SCHOOL DAY.

If you or the children have any questions they can click back into the zoom  https://sau24-org.zoom.us/j/82360336858 at any time until 11:30. If you have any questions, I will be checking my email, Stacy.stanley@sau24.org
