All video submissions are due May 8th, so get out your phones and start recording your talented kiddos (please ensure recordings are less than 5 minutes)! Though you’ll be able to upload videos from your computer, you might find it a bit easier to do so from your phone. Here is a short recording to show you how to do this.
I know I have talent in my class! Let’s show the rest of the school!

Parents,
Fourth grade students have library time at 8:30 AM and keyboarding time at 1:00 PM on Thursdays. I have sent out an email with the Zoom links for each of these.
Thanks!

New Zoom Link
Parents,
I hope you and your kids have enjoyed Spring Break. I’m excited to get back to learning on Monday. I’ve made some changes to how students will access the Zoom meetings to help protect privacy and to ensure that they stay safe. The link will no longer be found on my blog, but will be accessible through Google Classroom (which is private). The meeting will also require a password, which can also be found on Google Classroom or in the email I sent out.
This link and password will stay the same for the rest of the year (or at least until May 1st. I guess we don’t really know what will happen!)
Thanks for supporting your child’s learning through this pandemic.

Pick-Up Tomorrow
Digital School is underway and going pretty well! I am overwhelmed by how supportive you have been with your child’s schooling.
Since our school closure has been extended, there is another pickup scheduled tomorrow. No one is really sure when this whole corona fiasco will be over and we can come back to school, so I’m planning for the worst and sending home personal belongings as well. Unfortunately, I don’t know exactly what my students want brought home (what books, personal pencils, etc.) so I will be sending home curriculum they will need, pencil boxes, and headphones. If there is anything else that they would like to be sent home – I need to know by 1:00 today so I can get it in their bag. Please email me (edixon@questac.org) if there are any special pencils, notebooks, or books that they would like to keep. It needs to be described in detail so I can find it and add it to their bag. Library books that I find will be returned to Mrs. Anderson.
Thanks again for your support in Digital School!

Digital School Basic Info
Digital school! How exciting! Notice the “Digital School” tab located above. This is where I will post links to our daily teaching sessions. Here are some basic guidelines on how I’ll structure digital school:
Students will have a checklist that will be posted on my blog daily that lists their daily tasks and schedule. Our daily schedule will generally look like this:
9:00 AM – All students log on and video conference for whole group math, language arts, and science. This will be the time when I will give a broad overview of what we are learning. Students need all materials in their packets for these sessions. I’m not sure how long these sessions will last (since this is the first time I’ve done anything like this!), but I’m guessing that it will be about 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the day, curriculum, and student engagement. I understand that not all students will be able to log on at 9 AM due to some differing schedules. I will record these sessions and put them on Google Classroom (click HERE to learn how to access that). This way, students who are not able to attend live sessions can still view what we talked about. However, I STRONGLY encourage students to do whatever they can to come to the live sessions. This is a great time to ask questions and get feedback from me.
After this time, students will be expected to work independently on their checklist. Checklists will be on the blog daily and students will be required to fill out a google form (which will also be located on the blog) every day to show what they accomplished. Students who have finished all their checklists will get to participate in a fun activity at 12:30 each day. This may be a classroom Kahoot, a game of prodigy with me, or some other fun game via video conferencing.
I will be using Zoom to teach classes – it is a video conferencing app/website that allows me to see and teach all students. Click HERE for a tutorial on how to get it up and running. I strongly suggest you watch this. If you have an ipad/tablet, you will need to download the Zoom app first. I have tried it on several different devices and the process on getting on is a little different for each. If you cannot get on, please email me and I’ll see what I can do to help. Students will use the Digital School tab above to access our daily Zoom sessions.
I will be holding a test session at 2:00 PM today. It would be super helpful to try and get your child on by then so that 9:00 AM tomorrow morning runs smoothly.
Students will also be using Clever to access their iReady. If you have a tablet, you will need to download the Clever app.
I look forward to seeing your cute kids at 9:00 AM tomorrow (and some at 2:00 today!). Please email me with any questions/concerns/individual situations.
Thank you for helping to keep your child accountable and helping to give them a quality education, even in times when we can’t meet at school.
