Art

Ms. Johnston created art supplies to go packs for all our school families. She is communicating to students via Class Dojo, and the groups are broken into three. Group one is Preschool-1st grade, group two is 2nd grade through 5th grade, and the group three is 6th grade through 8th grade. She is also communicating in classroom zoom meetings weekly.

P.E.

Coach Schonder is assigning workouts for the week. He communicates these workouts on his lesson plans to parents and students through classroom zoom meetings. An example is this 20-minute high-intensity interval training video: HIIT YouTube

Spanish

Ms. Egan is using the Duolingo during this time of remote learning. The application is available on all chrome books, or parents can download Duolingo to an iPad or a computer. In addition to Duolingo, each Homeroom teacher will post Spanish Lesson plans on their Google classrooms. Ms. Egan will also meet with each grade once a week for zoom meetings.

Music

Mrs. Davis is reading stories on Class Dojo, so students still feel connected to her during this time. She is also encouraging all students to practice these songs.
