Fantastic work!!
If you had a wipe out this week, it's okay. We are just getting started with distance learning....and we are all trying to learn how to do this. This week has been tricky for me. I have messed up and had to redo things a lot.
Everyone, please watch River and Wilder as they learn how to surf.
Only watch this episode.

Mrs. Robinson,
Alex is really struggling. He doesn't understand what is expected of him each day and I don't know either. I hope you can see on your end that he is trying to do his work. He just really doesn't know how much or which websites to visit every single day. When you give directions it would be more helpful for me to help him if you could break it down into a checklist that we could mark off each day. Like what website and what should they be accomplishing on each website each day broken down into a checklist. Some of the students may not struggle with this, but Alex really does and I'm sure I'm not the only parent who is unable to sit over him for hours while he works. I am more than willing to make sure he completes his work if it's a check list that I understand, but the way the directions are being given right now makes no sense to me. The websites I had just figured out how to get to are changing now. I understand this is a learning curve for everyone. I also think if I don't explain to you what we are struggling with then there's no way for us to get any help. I have tried asking questions to you on the Remind app through text, but I guess the app isn't sending my messages through to you so I thought it would be better to ask here since you are able to see the messages here. Thanks so much!!

And just to clarify what I mean...You are putting the work load into bullet points, but Alex doesn't know how much he is supposed to do on each site or when he should stop. So when I put him on Spelling City he just stays on Spelling City until I move him to the next thing. He doesn't know what the stopping point is. Is there a certain number of assignments he should be doing on that specific site everyday? Or how does that work for each thing? Hope that makes more sense. I'm sure you know better than anyone how frustrating this is. You are doing a great job trying to get it all working.

Also, where are the AR quizzes located? Is Alex supposed to be doing that? And where is 'Math Facts in a Flash?" What is the website for that?

Charlene,
That is an excellent idea. Do you think I should break it down it down by single weekdays? I do realize it got confusing, and I am completely eliminating some websites. I can't imagine why any of these are charging. Which ones? Looking back through Remind I did see the question, "Are Edmentum and Exact Path the same thing. Yes they are, but we will not be doing that anymore.

Please keep giving me feedback on how I can help.

Just to be clear, are you using the links on the first page of my website? The ones we use everyday at school. They are all there. Now I have removed some today, because the kids will not be using these anymore. I am trying to make this easier.

I can't surf, but I have never tried. I love to watch surfers. I will see if I can find another good video for the Super Surfers this week.
