The Middle Update 4/13/20

We are heading into week 3 of the 4th quarter, and it appears like we'll have a little more certainty about what the rest of the school year looks like sometime soon.  Once we know for sure when/if we are coming back to school for normal school days, we'll have much more information to share.  For now, we'll continue down our Remote Learning Journey learning a lot along the way.  

Resources of the Week

We've gotten off to a great start with our plans and tools, and the collective knowledge you all have shared with each other has been fun to be a part of, and this week's article provides more tools for you to consider or explore in our current situation.

Teaching from home, taking care of kids, watching the news, being away from person to person interaction...I can feel the stress level rise just as I type those words...self care is as important today as it is every other day...The following article provides some insight into the importance of taking care of yourself.

"Prioritizing Self-Care While Working from Home" - John McCarthy

Schedule

We'll continue to carry out the plans that we have laid out for grading/reporting, and our meeting times.  Remember, our goals for this Remote Learning Experience are:

-Stay Healthy

-Maintain/Strengthen Connections with Kids

-Move Student Learning Forward
