Friday Update

"To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it." - Mother Teresa

I want to make sure that I am sharing any information I can with you while at home.  Being proactive and over communicating are two simple ways I can help.

• I have heard that our district is working to come up with a plan.  I do not have any further details. Know, whatever the plan is, I will make sure and adapt/modify it to meet the needs of my class.
• I have a scheduled conference call today with HHSA admin and staff.  This will be a check-in and share.  I hope to have more insights of what other teachers are doing.
• I am formulating a schedule to begin next week.  I attended a distance learning webinar last night from the California Teachers Association.  It was very insightful and I will use it to plan our next steps.
• I do not have any updates on printed materials. We were initially being allowed to go to our classrooms and get materials today, but after Governor Newsom's "stay at home" order, that was cancelled.  As soon as I can, I will get materials and we will figure out a way to distribute them to families.
• I will be modifying my planbook to provide information and schedules for students.

Reminder:  I will be hosting a test conference call with students today at 1:00.  The purpose of this will be to help students get their devices setup to be able to connect as we move forward.  Please check out the Student Blog for information on how to connect.
