Going Virtual
The students are already set up in all the Google Classrooms because we did it together, so they should know how to maneuver through them.
Step by step instructions:1. The students should log into their chromebooks using the same log-in as in school (class2026 first initial last name @olaschool2.com ; password: class2026)2. They should open Google Chrome3. Click on the little waffle (3x3 grid) in the top right corner and one of the options looks like a chalkboard and says Classroom, click that4. Then in the classroom home screen there will be all his classes listed - click 3A (2020-2021) with my little picture to be in our class6. Once they are in my classroom, i n the top picture bar it says Google Meet Link. The link there is where the students will go every morning and they must be joined in as of 8:00am7. Click the link and then make sure to click Join Now once you check that your camera and audio is on!Virtual students need to be on all day except for certain breaks.- Their school day on Google Meet will start at 8:00am (if they are not on by 8:10am they are marked as absent, but they can also join in earlier)
- Then around 9:45 we take a break for snack. If the students choose to stay on the computer during snack they can, but I will tell them they can leave as long as they are back by 10am.
- At 10am they will be on again until we get ready for lunch, a little before 12.
- Students will be off during lunch and recess then after lunch we go right into DEAR time, which stands for Drop Everything and Read. Lunch/Recess is technically 12:00-12:50 so if you want to enforce that they start reading again at 12:50 that would be great, however I will not require them back until 1pm.
- At 1pm when they get back on they must have a book with them and be prepared to read to themselves.
- Then they will stay on for the rest of the afternoon, until it is time for us to pack up, usually around 2:30.
- I will let the virtual students go while we are packing and cleaning up in school so then they are done for the day.
**For special classes, students will need to exit out of my Google Meet link and enter the Google Classroom for the special and enter that Google Meet link. They are all already in those classes as well as we set it up when they started school. -
Scholastic Book Orders
- Each month, I will send home Scholastic book flyers and you can decide if you would like to buy any for your child. They will be 3rd grade flyers so they would be great books for your student. Students will be reading every night for homework so it is good for them to have a lot of books on their reading level at their disposal.
**Our class code is W7393 and orders are due by the 15th of each month! I will submit class orders after that and books will be mailed to school!**
(There will not be a Scholastic book order for December, so if you want to buy books in advance for your kids do it in the November order!) -
