The Coronavirus Chronicles -Three Strikes You're Out

[Offroad]

We were told to create 'packets' for 2 weeks with a weekend notice.

They would print out for those without internet, I had 2/140 pick them up.

Online was better all 35/35 honors logged into our 'Google Classroom' and did assignments. Nearly 90% of the others did.

Luckily I built a computer lab in my room about 10 year ago out of discarded and donated used computers so my students didn't skip a beat except for missing labs (8th Grade Science).

We were told not to stress students out with assignments and we can't really hold them accountable if they don't do them. Again the honors do everything you assign them, impressive!

This next 3 week packet they will only print out on request and pass it out on the curb....everything is highly encouraged to be done digitally.

I wasn't a fan of Google Classroom (like black board and others), but it is a way to broadcast assignments and materials without mass emailing 140 students.

Our last official day is May 1st...then a week to collect and grade assignment.

The hospital is still not giving N95 masks to NICU nurses like my wife and my perfusionist daughter....if anyone has one or two I'll buy them from you.
