Hi Students and Parents!
I hope you are all staying safe and are well. I know this is a big adjustment for all of us, including me and my family. That is why I have not sent anything home/or asked the students to do anything but adjust to our new "normal" this week. I want to ease your mind on a few things for the upcoming online learning for our class next week. First, we are taking this slow. No need to race to get this done. Do the things I assign at your own pace. This is just to keep your mind fresh. Second, you should spend no more than 30 minutes on what I assign. I will be doing my best to assign no more than that each day. Third, everything I assign will be review from this year, no new lessons. We will be using Big Ideas Skills Trainer (more will be explained in our first lesson). It can check your work automatically so you know if you are on track or not, and it will offer help if you are stuck or have forgotten how to do things. Fourth, the expectation is for you to just keep your skills up and not to turn anything in to me or have anything graded. Fifth, you will not be quizzed or tested on this material. This is UCS's policy for now, if they change their expectations, I will let you know. I do not know what will happen when we get back, we are just taking this day by day. I know you may have a lot of questions about finishing our material for the year, the PSAT, Finals, grades, etc., so do I. However, I have no answers right now. When I do, I will share them with you. For now, do not stress, all will work itself out in due time. 😊 Remember, I have the student's best interests at heart and will always do what is best for them. I believe Tuesday, 3/24/20, the district will be sending out information on how to access Schoology, the online platform all teachers will be using to communicate their online lessons. I have posted a short lesson for Tuesday in there to start us off. In the mean time, stay safe and healthy. I hope to see all of my student's smiling faces soon.

Hi Students and Parents!
I hope you are all staying safe and are well. I know this is a big adjustment for all of us, including me and my family. That is why I have not sent anything home/or asked the students to do anything but adjust to our new "normal" this week. I want to ease your mind on a few things for the upcoming online learning for our class next week. First, we are taking this slow. No need to race to get this done. Do the things I assign at your own pace. This is just to keep your mind fresh. Second, you should spend no more than 30 minutes on what I assign. I will be doing my best to assign no more than that each day. Third, everything I assign will be review from this year, no new lessons. We will be using Big Ideas Skills Trainer (more will be explained in our first lesson). It can check your work automatically so you know if you are on track or not, and it will offer help if you are stuck or have forgotten how to do things. Fourth, the expectation is for you to just keep your skills up and not to turn anything in to me or have anything graded. Fifth, you will not be quizzed or tested on this material. This is UCS's policy for now, if they change their expectations, I will let you know. I do not know what will happen when we get back, we are just taking this day by day. I know you may have a lot of questions about finishing our material for the year, the PSAT, Finals, grades, etc., so do I. However, I have no answers right now. When I do, I will share them with you. For now, do not stress, all will work itself out in due time. 😊 Remember, I have the student's best interests at heart and will always do what is best for them. I believe Tuesday, 3/24/20, the district will be sending out information on how to access Schoology, the online platform all teachers will be using to communicate their online lessons. I have posted a short lesson for Tuesday in there to start us off. In the mean time, stay safe and healthy. I hope to see all of my student's smiling faces soon.
Mrs. Aniel
