Read & Write Google Chrome This is an awesome resource that can be used through Google Chrome as an "add-on". It looks like a purple puzzle piece when it is installed. The major highlight is it has a built in voice translator, and speech to text.  Other uses are that It helps you correct your grammar, spelling, and even asks "what did you mean?" or "what did you want to say?" and gives you options to put down and you can speak into it. There is a document attached in Google Classroom that has 3 helpful videos how to use it that are time stamped. Find it in the Resources section under the Classwork tab on Google Classroom.

Hi Parents/Guardians, Welcome to the first week of online learning. I understand that this is a huge change for everyone and it can be overwhelming. We are all learning this together.  Remember that our first two Google Meet calls are on Monday from 8-10 am or 12:30-2:30 pm. Students can log in at any point during those two time slots to connect, get support and ask questions. They can access the calls through a link posted on our Google Classroom Stream Tab.  They will simply need to click on the link and then hit the “Join Now” button on the right hand side.   This week coming up I have provided students with 6 different learning opportunities. I have highlighted three “Must” tasks. These will be the tasks that I am using to continue to assess student learning and will be a priority. The “Should” and “Could” tasks can be utilized to help further develop student understanding and extend learning. Remember, as requested by the government, students are required to particip

Hello Parents/Guardians, I was very excited to log onto our Google Classroom today and see how many students have joined. If your child has yet to do so, please get them to log onto their Google account and join our class. Once they have done that, you will notice there are now 3 assignments under the Classwork tab. Please have your child work through these sequentially.  The first assignment, Google Classroom and Google Meet Expectations, is one that needs to be completed with both student and parent/guardian. Please read through this document and discuss the contents with your child.
