Hello Everyone, 
 
Here is this week’s “One Sheet” to detail all assignments (which are attached here). The One Sheets for the last two weeks should still be up on the website  https://school.hawthornevalley.org/portals/parent-portal/interim-learning-plans-and-resources/ . Almost everyone has now accessed our Google Classroom platform. All of the assignments detailed here, including this One Sheet will also be posted to the Google Classroom. If at all possible, please try to help your 6 th  graders “turn in” their assignments through this platform. I have left instructions for how to do this on the “Stream”. 
 
You will notice that anything that has a due date below is still officially due on  Friday 4.3.2020  (let’s say by 3:00pm).   This will allow those students who are up for it to prioritize their own work. Additionally, I have included a week 3 Checklist and a Recommended Focus list (with day by day guidelines). The ongoing work (learning play lines, studying Latin Roots, and European countries, etc.) should be done every day to promote retention. Students are always welcome to submit work early. 
 
On Google classrooms, I am beginning to ask short answer questions and offer enrichment assignments. If your child feels overwhelmed and is not completing the basic assignments, please know that these assignments are optional. If they are looking for more work, they can look there. All students are now enrolled in the Typing Tutor and can use the program at the discretion of parents (the link is in google classrooms, but I can send it along in an email if you prefer. I think this is an excellent time for students to begin to learn how to type. The program is fun, engaging, and effective. I was planning to start a typing program as part of the reforming of the middle school and this fits right in. I leave limiting typing time to parents, but would recommend 15-20 minutes of typing 3-5 times a week.
