Your cohort teacher has multiple google classrooms, please choose MINIMUM of ONE google classroom to work through. If you need help getting into the google classroom please ask your cohort teacher. In addition to the google classroom, there are a number of resources for independent work.
For every school day, write a short summary of what you did for each learning category and keep track of it in your Weekly Learning Log. Each week should include activities that apply reading, writing, listening, and numeracy (math). Any of these can be done and discussed with someone in your household or someone from class (while following social distancing requirements). You’ll also notice some crossover between the different categories, that’s okay! Lots of these activities engage multiple types of learning.
