Hello, loves!

Good morning!
*
So, as most of you may know, I have had some weird technical issues this week. 

Here are a couple of things that should answer most of your questions.

1. Grades are in Focus. If you are unable to view your grades, please give some time for the system to reboot. There are a lot of grades going in and now that we have moved to full on Distance Learning, the system may be adjusting.

2. If you are turning in work through Teams, it may say "late" but it is NOT late. I just had to put in a date, so don't stress.

3. I will be trying to be available as much as possible this week. Please keep in mind that I am still overcoming the technical difficulties. Also, my husband has his job as an essential, which means I am usually here with my 1-year-old son most days by myself. So please be patient, as I may be attending to him as on most days. 

​I love and miss you all!

Good afternoon loves!

I will have to postpone our Zoom meeting to next week! I completely forgot I scheduled a routine doctors appointment for today at 2:30. Normally, I would have moved the appointment, but unfortunately, I could not do so this go around.

I will answer as many emails or questions as I can until about 2:00 today. And I will still reply when I can after. Thank you for patience and cooperation.

Have a wonderful day! I will have Weeks 5 & 6 posted this evening.

Good afternoon!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all doing well.

Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or if you just want to say hi! I miss you all!

Writing Prompts of the Day!
- Have you ever experienced deja vu (a feeling that you have already experienced the present situation)? What was it about?
- Pick one of the following careers: music DJ, sushi chef or firefighter. This will be your job for the next 3 months. Why did you choose it, and what benefit do you think you will gain from it?

Good afternoon,

Happy Friday! I hope you have been keeping yourself busy with school and other fun activities. 

You should be finished with your Week #3 packets and getting ready to start your 4th Week. Or, you are already finished with both, great. And if you are not.... still great! The great thing about distance learning is you can absolutely pace yourself.

Monday, I will have a review of Week #3 up. Have a wonderful weekend!

Writing Prompt of the Day: Do you find skeletons to be scary or interesting?

​Happy Writing, and miss you all my loves.

Good afternoon! I am now available for any questions you may have,

The most frequently asked question so far of the week is "How can I type into the document? Some areas will not let me."

This is just how the document is formed. Some of the graphs you see I could not convert to be typed into. So for those parts, you just need to have answers on a document. For annotation, you may take notes on a separate document as well. 

I hope that answers some questions!

Writing Prompt of the Day: If you could become any actor, writer, or singer, who would you become and why?

Happy Writing! Miss you, loves.

Vocabulary - Week 3 Review

4/15/2020

0 Comments

 

Coordinate: Based off the couples matching in red, I am going to assume to “coordinate” means to literally match, or relate to in some way.

Interrogate: Based off of the picture, this person looks like they are being investigated, almost to the point where it is a lot. So I am going to guess that this person is being asked a lot of different questions.

Accuse: In this picture, the girl seems to be angry, yelling and point fingers. So I’m going to assume she is trying to blame someone for doing some.


Did anyone else have a different interpretation? Let me know!
