- Have the students log in to their Chromebooks and complete a 30-minute long Membean training session. Please let the students know that I will count this session as TWO SEPARATE DAYS when determining their Membean training score this week.
- Optional: Several students are struggling with grammar this school year and have asked for additional materials for moving forward. In middle school, several of our current high schoolers used an online program called NoRedInk (www.noredink.com). After finishing Membean, students who desire to do so can go to this website, log in (without a classroom code), and explore the site. I have not had much time to “play around” with this site, but it looks like their Google accounts should work and that they can engage in some grammar training modules using the free version.
- Have the students engage in quiet and independent reading of their free reading books for the remainder of the class block.
- Optional: If you would like to allow students to work on work for other classes in a “study hall”-type format for the last 20 minutes or so, feel free to communicate this option and allow them to head to their lockers two at a time for materials using the wood block passes on the univent by the cabinet.
