Return from Spring Break (Virtually)
Hello all, I hope you are well. There will soon be a return letter to your parents' emails. For now, I wanted to give you a breakdown of how class will go until April 10th. I've made the structure (not content) the same for all three classes until we adjust to the new format.
Duolingo
- You will have a DuoLingo assignment due by noon on the 29th. (for all classes) I'll be sendiing out the DuoLingo assignments on Remind only.
Zoom
- You will have a Zoom call during my office hours to attend. It is not required to the entire hour and 15 mins, but enough to get your participation points. Here are the office hours:
- Monday 10:15-11:45 and 3:30-4:45 (French 1/2) **(not this week) starting March 30th.
- Wednesday 10:15-11:45 and 3:30-4:45 (French 3/4)
- Thursday 10:15-11:45 and 3:30-4:45 (French 5/6)
Here's the login info for this first Zoom call. All classes are welcome for this first call:

Again, for the first week, just check in, I'll ask one or two questions from the OPI sheet (linked above) and you'll be done, not necessary to hang around for all three hours.
Kahoot!
- Finally, there will still be Kahoot! It will be challenge and you can do it on your own time. The Kahoot! Link link and code are below. Also, I'm starting up Remind to help keep people updated. The link is below:
