Classroom Updates

My student cannot log in at class time today.  Can they complete their assignments later and still get credit?  YES!!

This is a great question and one that I have received from several families this week. If your student is not able to log in for every live lesson, that is okay!  They can still get credit for assignments as well as be marked present for attendance that day. If you have had this question and are wondering how this will work, please watch the following video for an explanation of how to do this.

Hello!  As we get familiar with the login process this week, please refer to these steps if you need assistance:

1. Log in to your student’s Chromebook with their student username and password.
2. Go to classroom.google.com.  You can access that by clinking here or by typing classroom.google.com into your internet browser.
3. You should now be able to see your student’s classes.  Our first class at 8:00 every morning will be ELA so you will click on the blue class titled “Mrs. Peterson ELA”. (At 9:30a you will choose the pink “Mrs. Peterson Math” classroom.  At 12:00p you will choose the green “Mrs. Peterson Science” classroom.).

4.  Once you are in your student’s classroom, you will click the Meet Link at the top of the page to join our live Google Meet session.

5.  The video session will open in a new tab.  Once your student is logged into the video, they will also need to open Nearpod with is the platform we use to display our teaching material.  To access Nearpod for each lesson, go back into the corresponding Google Classroom.  Click the “Classwork” tab at the top of the page.  Find the correct date and choose “Live Lesson”.  Under the live lesson assignment you will see a link to that lessons Nearpod.  It will also open in a new tab and students will need to be able to navigate between the video tab and the Nearpod tab during the lesson.

This is the same process that you will use to join the live class for each subject.  You will click on whatever “class” is associated with the subject on our daily schedule.  To access the daily schedule, click here.

I am a strong believer in open communication between teacher, student and parent/guardian in order to have a successful school year. Please click here to provide me with the following information about your family so that we can keep that line of communication open.

Thank you,

Happy First Day of 2nd Grade!  I am so excited to start learning with you!  Here are the steps to get logged in on Monday, August 3rd.
