I almost forgot to blog today, so this is coming to you a bit late.
Here is Tuesday's schedule and
Wednesday's schedule
Remember, if you check them before 8 am on the day they are for, they may not be completely updated.
We have CPR tomorrow at 9 am. We look forward to seeing everyone and connecting, but CPR is optional. If you are just not up for it, or busy, or forget, it's okay. We are all doing our best. Let us know and we can help your students set up your own google meets activities.
Over the weekend there were some problems with google hangouts video chatting and setting up google meets, but they seem to be fixed now. We are all grateful for tech support. Don't forget to reach out to teachers or write directly to helpdesk@mmuusd.org if you have issues.
We just entered our fourth week of distance learning. If you are having days where
1) nothing is getting done
2) nothing is going right
3) student's can't figure anything out on their own
4) all of the children are fighting
5) more than one of you is crying at the same time
Please, please, cut yourself some slack. Contact us when you can and we will set up a new plan for you if you are feeling behind and overwhelmed. We can get you back on track. Please don't disappear because we will miss you and come after you (through the internet.) NEXT WEEK IS VACATION, which may look alarmingly like not vacation. Since no one is going anywhere, it can be a fine time to catch up. We will not be having any assignments for that week.
Today, the Monday book groups met. It was stimulating, as always. If you forgot your meeting, or couldn't make it for some reason, let me know and I can squeeze you into a Wednesday group. The meets are only 15 minutes, but we get to talk about books and think about characters, so they are very worthwhile. We often sort out assignments as well.
We can do this. We can do hard things.
See you in cyberspace.
