Hey, Gentlebeings!

Just a quick note to say that I am thinking about you all and wishing you well. I am hard at work adjusting and streamlining our learning for the next few weeks so that you might better be able to learn and thrive in this slightly different model.

I will be contacting your families towards the end of the week to check-in, and make sure you all have my email address. If you HAVE it, can you send me an email with your personal address, so I can include you directly as well? And tell your peers about this post!

In the meanwhile, things that you can be doing, as I've had a couple of emails:

10's: Read your novels. If you neglected to bring it home from school, I know that all three are available through iBooks and I believe Amazon Kindle as well. RPL has both TKAM & The Help as  downloadable audiobooks. This should take you through until next week when things should be getting started.

8's:
L&L: Incentive: Put the finishing touches on your novel project. You can use your smart phone to take pictures of anything that is not text-based next week. If you don't have that capacity, we'll figure something out.

L&L: Mainstream: Finish your Graffiti of your lyric. Write 10 sentences/Lines using any of the devices we've studied so far. If you have an iPhone you can actually scan your work using the "notes" feature. If you don't, clear photos will do for next week.

 I&S: Both: Make sure your notes for your topic are done by the end of the week, getting in touch with each other virtually or over the phone. Don't worry about the presentations. I'm happy to see what you got done but focus on the notes.

Take good care of yourselves.

Less Than Three,
