 Hello all! Alright, how we doing? What's good? What questions/fears/successes/celebrations do you have? Me? Oh, yeah...well, I successfully (with limited grievances) homeschooled my two kids today, got a decent amount of school work done, took our nutso dog for a walk, and went on a quick bike ride! The sun is beautiful and warm today. I'll take the wins where I can get 'em. Here are my updates for you for today, March 17: 1. PARENT ACCESS TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM If your parent or guardian would like access to Google Classroom to better support your distance learning, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/uKndENjDRd5giQnJA 2. UPDATES TO TASK SHEETS - English 11 Honors: You are working from an assignment in Google Classroom entitled 'Quarantine! Editorial and Work From Home Menu.' Within that assignment, there are a few documents: the Write an Editorial task sheet; editorial rubric with self assessment; an overview with fun learning opportunities; and new today a suggested pacing guide. *Directional task sheets may be edited and updated. Make sure you refer back to these periodically.* The pacing guide is only for 2 weeks and only a suggestion. Together, we'll learn as we go. I have zero intention of filling your time with busywork...just keep your hand on the tiller. Remember our course goals: to become better, stronger, more independent readers, writers, thinkers, speakers, and listeners. There's about a million ways to get there. In these weeks we are out of school, be attentive and pay attention to more than what's on the other end of the screen. *Also! Lots of folks asking about submitting One-pagers. I'd like to see these pop up in my inbox by Friday, 3.20. Just snap a pic and share via Remind, Schoology, or email (Remind preferred.) - AP Lit: Brilliant Seniors, we're keeping it simple. You have the following to be attentive to: submit Act IV promptbook; finish the play & be accountable for Act V (through whatever vehicle you choose -- film STRONGLY encouraged); analysis meaning of the work extension (+ a Flipgrid); and a Q3. ALL directions are posted to your Google Classroom assignment entitled 'Quarantine Work From Home Part 1.' *Directional task sheets may be edited and updated. Make sure you refer back to these periodically.* 3. OFFICE HOURS I have set the following office hours on Zoom. If you visit during office hours, you'll have a chance to ask questions face-to-face and work out any issues you might be having with any assignments. Of course, you are ALWAYS welcome to message on #allthethings: Remind, Schoology, and email. I will be available for a quick response in the hours listed below. IMPORTANT: Set up Zoom and any necessary plug ins ahead of time. It's super simple, but you may need an update, a test call, etc. before you're fulling up and running. Here's the schedule: Office hours are every day M-F from 10:00-11:00. You DO NOT need to be present for the entire meeting. A pop in is fine. For Zoom....
If you'd like to attend Zoom office hours, CLICK HERE FOR ENGLISH 11 HONORS. And CLICK HERE FOR AP LIT. These links will direct you to our virtual meeting space. Finally! In the spirit of learning that extends beyond the classroom, here are 3 of my favorite virtual learning opportunities that have popped up on my feeds this week. I encourage you to have fun & learn something new! (And tag me at #LOOKKHILLI when you do! shout outs Jill, Emily, & Nick for joining in!). 1. DROPKICK MURPHYS STREAMING SHOW!!!

Tons of links and tons of topics. Check it out! And with that, I'm signing off. Remember, I'm here; we're here. Be in touch, take care of yourselves, get some sunshine, and reach out if you need.
All the best, Mrs. H
