How are you doing? How will you organize your workspace?
In a roughly one page double-spaced letter, please address the following questions. Feel free to give as much or as little information as you want/need to for each and you can organize it however you want.
➔ First, how are you doing? Is there anything you are particularly worried or upset about or are you generally doing ok? Do you have family members or friends who you are concerned about, were you a part of activities outside of school that were cancelled, and are there other ways that your life has been significantly impacted by this pandemic? Also, how are you passing this time away from school and other people?
➔ Think about each of your classes. (English, Math, Science, History, Choices) What are you most anxious to work on/learn in the rest of class? What do you still feel unsure about and would like to learn more about? What are you curious about? What topics do we absolutely need to cover?
➔ Think about your house and where you will sit to do your work. Do you have a dedicated space to work? Will you move around to work? Is your computer at a desk so that is where you will work? How about reading? Is there a comfortable place you can identify to read? What is most challenging about working from home?
➔ Do you need notebooks, school supplies or anything else from school? (we can arrange for pickup of anything).
➔ For independent silent reading do you have book you are currently reading ? If not take time today to choose something to read. If you need access to ebooks we can rent books on Actively Learn for you. Tell us what you are looking for and we can help find it if you don’t already have a book at home you like.
➔ Lastly, what mindspace are you in concerning school work right now? How much work do you think you will be able to do over the next few weeks, and what type of work would be the most appealing to you? How much do you want your parents to be involved? What kind of help can teachers offer you to best help? Please be honest in this section, as this will help us to calibrate the workload.
Answer the above questions in a google doc – Name it CHECK-IN 3/17 with you full name and share with a teacher.
