Welcome to kindergarten e-learning
The students all have their own ipad in the classroom. If it looks like bad weather or extreme cold is coming, we will send the ipads home with the students.
We will log on to our meeting using Google Classroom. The app is pinned at the bottom. It looks like a green chalkboard with a yellow border and kids in the middle.
When you open the app, you will see a screen that says "Mrs. Troha's Kindergarten" across the top. On the top right there will be a little video camera icon. Click the camera and a window for the google meet will open.
When you click, it will give you a camera preview. Please click the microphone button to turn it on mute (a line will show through and it be white).
Then click the blue "join" button at the bottom.
To make me stay big on the screen, tap the box I am in that says "Lois Troha". Press the 3 white dots, and then click "pin".
We have practiced this a few times in class, so the kids should mostly know what to do.
Please have your child keep the microphone on mute at all times, unless they are being called on to speak.
The kids will log on from 8:30-11:30, and have additional work to complete in the afternoon on their own.
I also ask that the children are seated at a desk or table and do not have toys or food with them.
