Day 3 of distance learning

Hello LOMS Families,

I would say day 2 was a bit more productive.  I did a zoom chat with about twenty students from 10 to 12.  I saw that many 7th graders got a good start on the required learning for the day.  By the end of Friday, you should have completed a minimum of two living journal posts each plus 90 minutes of logged free-choice reading.  In addition, you will complete a graphic organizer on the Mayans and create a paragraph or flip grid in which you answer the following question: What was the most remarkable achievement of the Mayans?  Be sure to give a claim, evidence, and reason for your opinion.

What did I do with my closure Thursday? I did a little bit of exercise on the Bob Jones trail, a short run to the beach.  I did a little work, and I hope to watch Frozen 2 with the kiddos.

Yesterday, I shared my family's schedule, and I will leave that up for one more day.

8:00 My kids should be up
9:00 to 12:00 academic time
12:00 to 1:00
1:00 PE
2:00 Complete school work and read
3:00 to 5:00 Social Time
5:00 is dinner then family time


Today, continue working on the task list, and I will add updates every so often.  For today's journal entry, kids should let me know if they heard about the county-wide "shelter in place."  I am curious what their take is on that.
