Hello all,
I want to wish you a wonderful new school year in which you succeed and accomplish your personal goals while having fun with friends and family and taking good care of your wellbeing. I'm sending each of you a huge hug ❤️ and a big smile... :) Good luck with all of your studies. Wishing you all a calm, fun and healthy year.
So, we are back to distance learning... an all-time favorite of us all. We will keep working on your language skills to make sure that you are ready for your Bagrut exams the moment you get the opportunity to take them. This means that there is a lot of responsibility on your shoulders considering a lot of independent work is involved. We will be working on reading comprehension and vocabulary. Make sure to take full advantage of the time we have together in our lessons, make sure to attend our online lessons and make sure to complete your tasks - these will ensure to maintain your readiness for the exams.
We will begin our lessons on Zoom where I will explain the tasks of the day. You will have time to work independently, and then we will reconvene on Zoom at a specific time I will give you. I will check attendance at the beginning and at the end of our lesson. Make sure to be on time with your cameras on. To do the necessary work, I strongly recommend to work on your computers and not your phones.
