Below is my class virtual learning plan. This is for all students who will not be starting in the classroom and who will be attending class via Zoom. This will also be on a subpage on my website. Just a reminder that this is subject to change to ensure that each student has a productive and positive learning experience. Thanks!
 
SMA 3rd Grade Virtual Learning Plan
The following reminders are for all 3rd grade students who will be attending class virtually for the 2020-2021 school year.
Dress: Students must wear their SMA gym uniform at a minimum or the SMA Regular / Spring Uniform when participating in SMA Virtual Learning Program.
Logging On: Each student must be on time for live Zoom class. All log-in and time information will be given before we begin.

-Students will need to be seated at a table or desk in a quiet area with no distractions.
-All supplies, textbooks, workbooks, and worksheets should be readily available for students to use during class when needed.
-Aside from Zoom classes, students will have online work to complete as well on the SMA 3rd grade website/Google Classroom. Assignments will need to be handed in/sent to the teacher by a certain set due date for each assignment.
-Students should utilize First in Math & RazKids outside of class time. Usernames and passwords will be given ahead of time.
-Students are asked to eat and use the restroom before attending Zoom class. They may have a water bottle with them.
-Students must stay muted unless they are called on or asked to speak. If they have a question, they are welcome to utilize the “Raise Hand” feature.
-Students on Zoom will be expected to participate as much as possible.
-Throughout online learning, you may be asked to pick up any extra materials or drop off any completed assignments. I will be contacting you for this.

The above information is subject to change whenever necessary to help the student have a positive, productive year.

I highly recommend that each student brings a filled reusable water bottle to school. We will be unable to use the water fountains this year, so this will ensure that each student stays hydrated.

August 21st, 2020

Please make sure to join my Remind group on my 3rd grade homepage, or under the "Remind" tab. You can either use that link to join or input our class code into the app. I will be using this as the main form of communication with any important updates or information.

Our supply list is updated for the new school year as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting all of your children!
