So it looks like we may be having an eLearning day next week. They are actually having students go to the school today if they need to get their Chromebooks. We are starting a new grading period with a new group of students, some students have never had my class yet. I am concerned about the best way to reach out to them. Should I just put a simple activity on their Canvas pages or do an email? Of course, most of them won't do anything anyway. Which would you do?

I think a simple, non curricular activity and a little intorduction note is probably the best way to go! Something simple that your students might have fun with, that doesn't really have anything to do with the class and more to do with getting to know the students. Share their favorite meme and provide insight into why they enjoy it, or maybe share some music or something for the class to see. Really it depends. It's also a great way to gague who may or may not participate during class on eLeearning days. Good luck!

Thank you. This os a good one. Maybe like an All About Me activity

All About me assignment is great. You could use Padlet. Also I would call the parents/caregivers of the new students (using Google Voice) and briefly introduce yourself and the goals/expectations of the class. Remind them of eLearning day. Find out if they need to pick up a Chromebook from school and if they need a hotspot. Share how they can access your Canvas page. Ask how their children are enjoying school so far, what helps them to learn in class ect, . If the parent doesn't know then ask what the child's interests/hobbies are. If the parents speak another language then arrange for a district interpreter to be on the phone call with you. The child might even be able to translate for you if a district interpreter isn't available. Say you are looking forward to having their children in your class. Send a mass email to your parents about eLearning Day, tools needed for eLearning and a reminder to check (or join if new) Canvas for assignments. You have an All About Me assignment due[date/time] I hope this helps.

Thank you. I will definitely send out an email. I have never used Padlet. How do you use Padlet with your students?

Does anybody do this where you take, maybe 1 day, to create multiple 3 day weekends scattered throughout the year for little trips instead of taking vaca in longer stints? Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.
