Based on some suggestions from parents in the survey, we are trying some different (and more “regular” / consistent) scheduling options for some classes, like our “Cool Skills” class (3x per week) and the Theme Strands groups of classes.
Cool Skills Classes (3x a week – T-Th):
These classes focus on skills for success in learning and in life – reading comprehension, analyzing articles, texts & websites, basic writing skills, real-life math skills,, media literacy, Social Emotional / Growth Mindset / Character Education, basic tech skills (Google Apps, etc.), presentation skills, speaking skills, etc. Students will be with the same instructor and the same group of students three times a week, always starting at the same time on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (so easier to remember when to start). These classes may also be producing something like a blog or vlog, online newspaper, videos, stories, books, etc.
PE / Exercise Opportunities:
We will be offering some 15 to 30 minute online PE / Exercise sessions throughout the week – stay tuned for a schedule – no need to sign up but anyone can join in on any day!
