GOOD MORNING :-)

Everyday that class is in session we will begin by meeting for synchronous (IN PERSON/LIVE) teaching on TEAMS.  This platform was chosen by the school district.  I am not as familiar with it . . . still learning . . . PLEASE be patient. 

 All asynchronous learning (SELF GUIDED/HOMEWORK) will be through GOOGLE CLASSROOM.  I will post a 1st Day Letter/Grading Policy (pdf), a Class Supply List (pdf) and a 1st Quarter WORKPLAN (pdf) in the STREAM.  Once you JOIN, you will have access.  I will leave class comments and concerns in the STREAM section.  The unit work (all classwork & homework) that accompanies the WORKPLAN is found in the CLASSWORK section.  How-To guides, reference materials, links and videos are all in the CLASSWORK section . . . look carefully.  When you have finished an assignment UPLOAD it for a grade.  If there is a problem with the school WIFI, if the internet goes down here at school, you have a substitute or in case of inclement weather . . . continue along with the WORKPLAN to receive your daily point.  I appreciate all of your hardwork, honesty & commitment to your education . . . let's WORK TOGETHER !!!

I will be working on the computer updating GOOGLE CLASSROOM lessons, adding NEW ones, grading your work (please read the comments) and responding to emails and GOOGLE CLASSROOM DMs during the hours of

8am-2pm and 8-9pm DAILY.

FEEL FREE to contact me through GOOGLE CLASSROOM or my district email KLOTITO@yonkerspublicschools.org about schoolwork or to just let me know how you are doing/feeling.
