Le 24 mars 2020 

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I miss you all and wish we were back in the classroom, but we have to put our health and the health of our friends, classmates, and loved ones first.

We have begun to develop lessons and activities for you so that you guys can continue to learn. I will be sharing those with you soon

For right now, I encourage all students to watch free documentaries online (I will be providing links to those soon) and to use the resources that have been made available to you. Also, continue to work on your study guide for the module we are on right now.

I also encourage you to go back to all the quizlets and practice using those, as well as the online textbook.

At this time, assignments aren't being graded. But I will be offering feedback for students who wish to submit work to me.

Eventually, we will be having short lessons via google meet and/or zoom. Eventually we will also be assigning work that will be graded.

ASSIGNMENT:
1)  Please send me and email to let me know how you are doing and how things are going at this time.

2) Continue working on your collaborative google slides with your partner. When you are finished, share it with me by April 6th. 

 Mr. Barros
