CORONA VIRUS

Over the course of the next 3 days (3/17, 3/18, 3/19), all NYC DOE Teachers are required to go into schools to try and figure out a way to do "remote learning". This can be difficult because this is new territory for all of us. There are several parts to this including us (the teachers) uploading the content, getting the information out to you (the parents), have the parent educate their child on how to access the information, and lastly find a way to hold the students' accountable for the work (making sure they are doing it). In the end, it puts a lot of responsibility on the parents because we can upload as much information as we would like, the reality is the students need to engage and complete the work. This can especially be difficult for our younger students because they may not know how to navigate the computers and websites as well as our older students. Regardless, I am here to help and will do my absolute best to make sure resources are available, no matter how old your child is. I will be updating the blog daily so please make sure you check back here for updates. As of now, on the homepage you can find a link to shapeamerica.org which has a ton of resources! I will be uploading videos, assignments and activities as often as possible. Just like anything else, you get out what you put in. While I know this is going to be a learning curve for all of us, I am excited for the potential that lies ahead. Please feel free to comment at the bottom of any of the blogs with concerns or ideas. Lets make this a fun experience for everyone!
