Virtual learning

***Remember that asynchronous (independent) learning is new to all of us. I am here to help! A positive mindset will help you to use this new style of learning to grow as a learner!

• Stay organized.

• Use the resources in our virtual classroom.

• Use our digital weekly planner to keep track of assignments.

• Staying organized will keep you from feeling overwhelmed or stressed.

• Limit distractions.

• Find a place where you are comfortable and can focus.

• Get up and move.

• Build breaks into your day (I suggest at least 2).

• Use our "break room" to get up and stretch, dance, or just move around!

• Pace yourself.

• Work at your own pace and use those breaks that are built into your schedule.

• Eat up!

• Eat breakfast, lunch, and healthy snacks throughout the day.

• Ask questions (as many as you need).

• Text or email me-I am here for YOU!

• Take care of yourself.

• If you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, please reach out to me or a trusted adult. We will problem solve and figure things out together!

• All work is due on Friday.

• Be sure to check Google Classroom for feedback/grades.
