Introducing Google Meet!

Hello,

I am very excited to get to video chat through Google Meet with all of you on Wednesday April 8th at 10:00 AM.

Thank you for all students have completed their 2 tasks this week! I loved reading all of the things that you have been doing over these last few weeks. If you wrote and shared a letter with me (on google docs), please go and check out my response. If you wrote me a letter, but don't see a response, go up to the right hand side and click "share" and make sure that is is shared with this email: imlagrana@educbe.ca (different than my work email). 

Every Monday, your parents will receive a learning plan for the week that includes reading, writing, math, and some choice activities. Also, we will be doing our first video conference on Google Meet! Your parents will receive an email with all the instructions on how to participate in that chat. Please ensure you review the etiquette before our meeting. 

Please review the following digital etiquette rules with your child before the first meeting

All the teachers at ROS have been working hard over this past week to get our work set up on these different techology tools. We understand how tricky some of this will be! Please take it slow, and if you have ANY questions regarding the technology, PLEASE ask! We are all learning these tools together. Now that we have worked out the kinks on our end (we think!) we can help you navigate all this new technology as well. 

If you have any questions, please email me here:

imlagrana@cbe.ab.ca (different than my google account) 

I look forward to Google Meet chatting with you next week!

Mrs. Lagrana
