Week 5 Recap:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every week I hope to reach more kids than the previous week. Just like Week 4<\/a>, between Zoom meetings, posting stuff for students, responding to student questions, checking student work and providing feedback, connecting with colleagues and answering their questions, and responding to parent questions I am keeping quite busy. It’s like being on call 24\/7 because I will respond to a parent or student just about any time because I know not everyone has the same schedule schools have. Plus it’s usually something I can answer rather quickly because if it will take more than a few minutes, I’ll wait until the next morning for evening messages. But as I mentioned in an earlier school closure post, even though I’m working all day, every day, I’m still not feeling very effective because I’m only helping a small number of people each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Week 4<\/a>, I only had five kids show up to the first of my weekly Science Zoom Meetings, and last week, Week 5<\/a>, I had 14 kids show up. Still, I’m not getting nearly as many as my teaching team, the LA\/SS and Math Zoom meetings! I can’t help but think either I’m picking a terrible time for people or I’m just not as popular!! My poor ego! LOL I will be changing the day and time because our elementary school came up with a whole school schedule and my meetings were going to happen during staff meeting time. So we’ll see how it goes this week, especially since I have a guest presenter from the North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC)<\/a>. So if I get more students, my ego will still be hurt until I can get them when I’m presenting on my own because I will think they just came for the guest presenter! ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I only got 14 out of 66 students, I recorded my Zoom meeting and posted it on YouTube for those who missed it! I even had an interactive Pear Deck presentation<\/a> to engage kids! Luckily, I set the Pear Deck presentation<\/a> to student-paced mode so those who missed it can still go through the presentation whenever they can (I posted the student-paced Pear Deck<\/a> as an assignment on Classcraft<\/a> so they can get XP and gold if they do it!). Here’s the Zoom Meeting in case my students find this post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
