Remind... How to Join? You need a code. Subscribe to confidential texts without giving me your cell phone number through an app I use. You'll get text reminders from me about test, quizzes, lab donations and answers! How to sign up? There is a special code for my class.This code will be sent home the beginning of school and provided at back to school night. To join: open a new text message. Text that code to 81010 ( or 916-256-3999, if there are issues with the 81010 number). Find me @MrsEwingClass and Follow me. I won't cramp your style by following you. I follow quotes, Science and school resources. Posting is random and could help you with a quiz/text. DONATIONS I do plenty of hands on activities, labs and demonstrations. The need for donations is really vital to the success of an interactive class as mine. I do make requests for family donations, apply for grants and have been very successful with the organization Donor's Choose (click to view) . I try to always have a live project waiting to be funded there. |

DO STUDENTS NEED AN EMAIL ADDRESS? I think YES!!!!!
Do you know that most students do not know how to write or send and email? I've received emails where a student has typed their whole message in the subject line or multiple emails with no message or attachments.This form of communication is vital and sometimes will soothe the nerves of a panicked student when working on a science project over the weekend. SCUSD has given every student in the district a Gmail account. Keep the password simple to remember and between student & parent. Parents, check and monitor always. This would be a great help. I will use this tool for assignments when possible. Students will learn how to access and work on GoogleDocs and GoogleSlides. Paperless classroom is always a goal.

I do use Google classroom for many online writing assignments. Writing assignment must be written by your child and suggestion on how they can edit their writing can be made from you. When writing levels spontaneously changed and cannot be reproduced in the classroom, it is clear that at home help has gone beyond the appropriate level of support. Please exercise the highest level of integrity when supporting your child with any homework.
