When you are finished, fold the letter nicely, put it in envelope (I will include an envelope with your pick up package tomorrow), seal it, write your full name and email address on it. When this is complete take a picture of the envelope and upload it to fresh grade as evidence that the activity is complete.

The 'LEARNING' truly never stops!  Many of you have been very active in your learning over the last week.  In order to be successful, you must embrace the BIG 6 learning principles even more that ever have!  Remote learning requires a great deal of motivation and hard work! Most of all, you will need to:

1.)  'READ' everything posted on a daily basis. Don't just skim and scan.
2.)  Pay attention to learning intentions and follow success criteria.
3.) Engage in the self/peer/teacher feedback loop! (Respond to feedback to improve your work)
4.) Share your work with others and submit it to be assessed regularly. ​

3.) PE / FITNESS FRIDAY:
  • You need to stay active during this time! 
  • Like you did a few days ago, take your resting heart rate and your active heart rate as soon as you stop your work out.
  • Post this here! We want to see your resting/active heart rate over time. Be sure to post it here whenever you have a PE lesson.)  You may want to start tracking this by date  on a Google Sheet or Doc.  You will submit your data later on to be assessed.  
  • Post a short video clip or picture of yourself doing some of 'PE WITH JOE's' exercises on FreshGrade. 
  • Click here to begin your workout.
4.) POST A RESPONSE:
  • Mr. Hong and I fully expect all students to complete all assigned work to the best of your abilities. (Please have your parents contact us if are unable to complete any assignments for any reason)
  • We will review the learning survey responses completed by your parents and your learning going forward will be individualized to reflect their responses.  
  • We will have your schedule and expectations ready for you by Monday morning.

    LEARNING INTENTION: I can review all posts from this week to ensure I have completed everything required. 

    SUCCESS CRITERIA: 
    1.) Read each post from this week CAREFULLY (Monitor Comprehension) Don't rush this!
    2.) Any missed details must be completed. 
    For example, only 20 students have completed everything asked of you for the #HeartsInWindows activity. Keep in mind, you were asked to take a picture/video of yourself making noise at 7pm in addition to pictures of your hearts on your window. Many of you have yet to upload this pic/video.  
    4.) Respond to all feedback you have received from your peers and teacher to improve your work (on the daily PAR, and FreshGrade, Use the general feedback on the letters to make the necessary edits/revisions.
    5.) Post a message here stating you have read 'EVERYTHING' and if you are confident you have completed everything.  
    6.) I will assess your work for completion over the weekend. Parents will be sent updates of your work over the weekend.
