Hi everyone! Allison here :)
Wow - what an unprecedented and unique Spring Break we have all experienced. I hope all is well with everyone, and I am missing each and every one of you so very much! We have all been thinking about you lots, and want you to know we are working on creating some normalcy and calm throughout this week so you can feel supported in your studies for the remainder of the school year.
We are going to be using Google Classroom to create a Virtual Reality of the amazing-ness we have created in the Istken Room! All help with learning materials, assistance with student-teacher communication, and support in writing, study skills and time management will happen within this groovy Google Classroom. I will use the Stream to post daily communication and support - expect some content that will make you smile and reminders on calming strategies and ways to reach out. I know you must all be feeling anxious at this time, and are in need of some help, as even us adults are feeling the general anxiety that is existing within our world during these uncertain and weird times. Do not worry, we are all in this together and I am here for you.
Assignments will be posted in Classwork. I will be posting tips on certain assignments a handful of you may be working on (Ie: Tips on completing an assignment for English 10 / 11 / 12). I would really like to explore using Google Meet to do check-ins and have appointments scheduled if you have any specific concerns, or just want to connect and chat - so expect these to happen!
Parents, you can be attached to your child's Google Classroom and can get updates from the program! Please email me at aderuiter@sd48.bc.ca to be added to your child's classroom. To communicate about learning, please email me and if need be, we can absolutely set up a time to chat.
