Welcome to E-Learning today. Today E-Learning will look different. Many of today's learning activities will have items to work on that I posted as PDF files. This means that you can print the activity for your child to work on today. However, I fully understand that you many not have access to a printer. With that being said please do not worry if you are unable to complete an activity. For any activity that would require the use of a printer, you are welcome to have your child to do the activity on any kind of paper that you may have at home. Therefore, activities may look different for everyone and this completely fine. If you have any questions or need any help with the activities please contact me via email. I will check my email between the hours of 8:45-3:30 to assist with these activities. I will get back to you shortly should you and your child need assistance or additional instruction.
Families,
One of the first things you need to do every morning when you log in and begin your day of learning is to email Mr. Dowling right away. This is our way of taking attendance every day for E-Learning instruction. Simply E-mail me every morning with the subject: "Attendance-"Child's Name". For the message simply let me know that you and your child have logged on to our class web page and you have found today's learning. Also, let me know in your message that you have begun your learning for today. Please know that if I do not receive and email from you for attendance during the hours of 8:45-3:30 the day will count as an unexcused absence.
