School Closure Week 3 - 3/30/2020

Good Day People,

Happy Spring Break!
I wish you all a peaceful 2 weeks with hopefully some healthy adventures at home.  I know it is a challenge to not go out but it is important to protect yourself and your family at this time.  I hope you don't watch too much news but instead, focus on the positive things around you.  Your family & your friends (online).   

Your teacher are trying hard to give you challenges that you can accomplish at home.  I hope you understand that you need to take responsibility for your learning in this very unique place we find ourselves.  I will keep posting links that have things to do to keep you active and thinking.  Build your structure at home, your routine and follow it.  Keep your brain active as well as your body.   

Remember that eventhough we are living in a world with COVID19, This Too Shall Pass!  We'll get past this and start our new normal.  Best of luck, keep emailing me, we can Hangout if you let me know, and if you need help, reach out.  Please ask.

Mr. G

School Closure Update
California schools will now be closed for the remainder of the 2019/2020 school year.  There will be lots of questions but not a lot of answers at the moment.  Please be patient.  

Laptop Pick-Up
If you need your school-issued laptop, please contact the Rio Vista Office at (805) 981-1507.  You can also email me and we will make arrangements to pick it up.

Video Hangout
I'm having to postpone our Hangout till Wednesday at 11:30 am.  I have to run some errands at the district & be at Vista to give out student laptops.  I'll post the link here tomorrow.  See you then.

Week 2 Challenges - details & links available in our classroom
Last week, the challenge was to build a Rube Goldberg, capture a video of your machine, and post the video in Flipgrid.  You can accomplish this at any time!
