Special Education: Ms. T's Class Our Week in Review First Week
Our Week in Review
8/3-7, 2020
We had an exciting first week online in school.
We greeted old friends, met new friends and
introduced ourselves to Ms. D and Ms. S, our
Instructional Assistants.
Our schedule this week:
8am Join Google Meet for Ms. T’s Class
Practice courtesy, using chat, and the mute button.
We also learned to take turns speaking and raising
our hands to ask or answer a question. Good Job Class!
8:42am Join Google Meet for PE
10:00am Return to Ms. T’s Google Meet
We had a nutrition break and talked about
healthy food.
This week while setting up, in this block we learned
about Google Meet Presentations, had two book
reads, and began to learn about our online program
Acellus.
We watched videos on cursive writing, a story from
ReadWorks, the science of water, and discussed the
uses of numbers.
Friday we had Fun Friday, much like last school year.
We chose music from YouTube for our class playlist,
and drew pictures and colored pages to share with
each other. We had show and tell and saw a student
crafted bracelet and home grown squash. HOW COOL!
Next week we will transition into Acellus Independent
Online Work during our 9:30-11:00 block.
Thank you, parents!
You are HEROES!
