Mrs. Mock's 3rd Grade Distance Learning Plan

     I am dedicated to ensuring continuity of instruction by providing all of the learning resources you need to keep your student on target for our end-of-the-year learning goals. Here, you will find our weekly learning objectives for all core subjects, as well as original instructional material broken down by daily lesson. I will continue to communicate with you and your student daily in a variety of ways including phone calls, email, photographs, videos, or ClassDojo posts and messages.  Distance learning will occur in very much the same way as in a classroom: 

• Students must be marked "present" each day, 
• every student is required to participate in lessons, 
• and they are to complete their assignments for each subject on time. 

     Pacing is designed to mirror what is covered in a typical instructional day. For that reason, I ask that you refrain from working ahead. Should your student need to "catch-up," that time is written in to our fifth instructional day, just as it is when the students are at school! Our learning expectations have not changed, and these assignments will be graded and uploaded into Rediker as part of your student's third trimester report card. Learning environment is key- please see that your student has a quiet place to watch instructional videos (headphones prevent distractions), uninterrupted time to complete tasks, and all the materials necessary to follow assignment instructions. 
     Attendance: 
Students will be marked "present" each day by completing a daily task in their ClassDojo portfolio. This daily prompt may require that students share a "Good Thing" by typing a response, take a picture, submit a short video, or draw something. Prompts will vary, so students must log in every day to receive credit. 
     Grades:
All assignments will be graded, and students will receive feedback on completed work. These grades will be posted in Rediker and included in averages for our final trimester report cards. I may even display them on our Class Story on Dojo-just like we do in our hallway!
     Assignments:
Students will be asked to complete work in a variety of ways. In addition to uploading in ClassDojo, students may be asked to complete a page from their Math In Focus workbooks, complete a written assignment, draw a picture, or read from their novel, Bunnicula, and fill out their reading log. It is as easy as sending a picture of the completed work to me via email, Dojo Message, or Dojo portfolio!
