Dear Students,

I miss all of you, and I am excited to embark on this new adventure of distance learning with you. My sincere hope is that you all take this time to enjoy family time, a good book, crafting, making meals together, or even learning a second language.

Please check my website every Monday and Wednesday for activities and assignments to be completed by Friday.

As you know, this coming week will be a transition period before actual distance learning commences on Monday, March 30.

This week's activities are voluntary, ungraded, and encompass a review of material we started a couple of weeks ago. So, please go to my google classroom and gain access through the following codes:

Queridos estudiantes,

Los he extrañado a todos y estoy muy emocionada de embarcarme en esta nueva aventura de aprendizaje a distancia con ustedes. Espero sinceramente que todos se tomen este tiempo para disfrutar en familia, leer un buen libro, hacer manualidades, preparar comidas juntos o incluso aprender un segundo idioma.

Visiten mi sitio web todos los lunes y miércoles para ver las actividades y tareas que se deberán completar antes del viernes. Los viernes, podemos hacer una videoconferencia a través de la aplicación Zoom, o pueden enviarme un correo electrónico con preguntas.

Como ya sabrán, la próxima semana será un período de transición antes de que comience el Aprendizaje a Distancia el lunes 30 de marzo.

Las actividades de esta semana son voluntarias, sin calificar y abarcan una revisión del material que comenzamos hace un par de semanas atrás.

Por favor, entren en mi a mi clase de “Google Class” y obtengan acceso a través de los siguientes códigos:

Dear Students and Parents,

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with a slight sliver of normalcy, due to some reopening procedures. i just wanted to express my gratitude to all of my students, who either faithfully zoomed with me twice a week and/or diligently turned in assignments via Google classroom. As we have all experienced, zoom does not by any means replace live teaching, and I especially miss the daily interactions with my students.

My sincere hope is that all of my students will finish the school year strongly by focusing on the end of the year novel project and turning in all missing assignments. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Sincerely,

Gabriele Hempill
