Remote Learning #3 for Wednesday, March 18th

Dear 4B Families,

Here’s today’s video from me! IMG_3796

Thank you for all of your feedback and support as we continue through this journey of remote learning. In response to your feedback, we have scaled back the amount of work for each day. We also adjusted the formatting to make it as student-friendly as possible, and students should be able to work through the day mostly independently. We also added a section just for the assignments that are ongoing. These do not necessarily have to be done every day, but they should be worked on some time throughout the week. This section is also great for kids who would like more learning/activities in a day.

For your convenience, we also made the tasks into a PDF so you have the option to print off and check off tasks as they are completed. Here it is! Remote Learning Wednesday, March 18, 2020

Finally, we are working on a way to send videos to go along with each math lesson. Stay tuned!
