You will be invited to come to TWO SESSIONS of my class and you can leave at any time (since it is optional). The schedule will be sent to you through MS Teams.
Please note that my class will be conducted entirely outdoors RAIN OR SHINE and you should arrive to school dressed to be out in west coast weather while you attend my class. We will do a species inventory project on school grounds. You will be taking pictures of plants and bugs and identifying these with a species identification app. This project does not have to be done on school grounds and can easily be done at or near your home. It is due on June 18, through MS Teams
as a BLOG POST on your learning blog.
After this assignment gets handed in, then any in person class will involve a local, optional interpretive walk to the park (Trout Lake), again, rain or shine.
Common questions:
May I use a computer in school library or computer lab?
All computer labs and library computers are closed. Please use your own device to access the internet at school. If you have access to a phone or tablet, you may use this.
Do I bring my own pens, pencil crayons and paper?
You are encouraged to bring your own pen, pencil crayons or felts as we have been advised by public health that students should not share writing materials. However, we can give you paper. We may do some sketching during class time so if you have your own sketchbook, you may bring it.
Is it mandatory to come to school?
No it is not. School is OPTIONAL. If you come, I would be delighted to welcome you and help you with the plant ID app, but this is not mandatory. You can come for as much or as little biology class as you choose. If you do not come, I will continue to support your learning on-line.
