In addition to the weekly newsletter, I post all assignments through Google Classroom (daily assignment information is also included in the newsletter).
I update Google Classroom daily.
In the Google Classroom announcements, I post:
Assignments completed in class each day
Videos of each lesson for students who may have been absent
If your child misses a day of school, they can log on to Google Classroom and see exactly what we did in class. They can watch a video of the lesson they missed, too.
(We do not watch these videos in class, but they are useful for students who miss a lesson.)
