In order to be situated to pivot to in-person instruction in the hybrid model, junior high schools must begin using the quarter block schedule developed for hybrid instruction when the second semester begins on January 19. The quarter block schedule is essential to accommodate the hybrid model of instruction given the health and safety guidelines that are required for in-person instruction.
Quarter 3: January 19-March 19, 2021
Quarter 4: March 29 - June 2
I prepare my materials and work space.
I access my assignments and other teacher expectations for the week via NEO.
Beginning at 8:30am, I log in to my PE class for a morning meditation and warm-up. After logging off from the whole-class session, I complete an online workout and log my heart rate at varying intervals in my fitness journal on NEO.
I have a break between my morning classes and grab a snack.
I log into my Math class and review test corrections from last week. I go into a breakout group with other at-home students to write and practice novel problems about the concepts we’re reviewing. I finish Math class by watching a pre-recorded video and completing guided practice.
Lunch: I have a 45-minute lunch which is long enough for me to eat and take my dog for a walk.
In my history class we are presenting on historical figures using slide decks we created from a template. We practice our presentations during the first half of class and present them during the second half.
I am able to participate in theater production on campus after school.
