Today's Google Meet

-

Hi Students!

Today we will be having our first Google Meet. It will be a chance for us to check in and see each other! I have sent out the link to our meeting, so please test it out at around 11:55 to make sure it works. I'll be waiting and our meeting will start at 12:00 pm.

Since there will be so many of us on at once, it would be great if you could mute your microphones so that the meeting runs smoothly. I'll show you around the Google Meet screen and then everyone will have a chance to say hello.

Google Meet does not allow everyone to see each other all at once. It only displays the speaker and three other participants at a time. If you would like to see all of the participants at once, please download the Google Chrome extension called Grid View to be able to do so. Click here for the extension. This extension is optional and not necessary.

I look forward to seeing you all today!

Guided and Home Reading

-
We have been working at guided reading activity stations this week. Ask your student which ones they worked at. Students are encouraged to read for at least twenty minutes each evening to reinforce reading strategies that we are developing in class. They should be selecting books of interest from our Hawkwood Learning Commons, and also have access to Raz Kids for reading material. It is always helpful for students to read aloud to an adult to develop their fluency and get help with decoding and understanding unfamiliar words.
