Distance Learning - Week 6 - 5/26 - 5/29
Good Day Folks,
I truly hope you all had a good weekend.
As the counties "Stay Well at Home" policy changes and becomes the "Stay Well VC" policy, you will see restaurants and some businesses start to open in a MODIFIED way. We still need to take care of each other through wearing masks and staying clear of large groups (over 10 people).
It's wonderful to think we may be seeing the other side of this pandemic!
This week for school & CS class, I'm really focused on the launch of the first American rocket with astronauts on board headed to the International Space Station on Wednesday at 1:30 pm.
8th graders:
Here are some reminders & updates for you.

Aloha people!
Welcome to another week of distance learning. Thanks to all of you that are participating in the tasks, creating games and videos to share your work, and meeting together during our Tuesday & Friday Meets.
This week's tasks are posted. Also, because of the Memorial Day Holiday on Monday, I included something extra. Please check out the class hyperdoc located below and in our Google Classroom.

Memorial Day Book Reading
I found this and watched it. It made me sad & proud. I'm setting up a White Table on Monday after I show my family this reading. It is a small gesture to make for the HUGE sacrifice many have made for our country. Check it out. Post a pick of YOUR white table if you can here.

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
