Dear Students and Parents,
I will be your Remote Learning teacher this year. My job is to make sure that you receive an educational experience that meshes with the regular classroom instruction at Fayette Central School as much as possible. We will strive to meet the curricular goals and objectives of your regular classroom teachers in a way that meets your needs as a learner.
We will be meeting with you on Zoom during the week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to discuss your progress, answer questions, and give instruction. An e-mail message will be sent to you to invite you to the meeting. If we miss a Monday, we will switch to a Tuesday/Friday Zoom meeting. On the other days you will be doing your independent work with books, paper and pencil, on-line programs, or pre-recorded teacher videos. You should strive to do at least three hours of schoolwork each day in grades 3-5; grades K-2 should strive for about 2-3 hours of work. Pre-K should do about 1-2 hours on M-W-F, just like at school.
Some of your work will be submitted online, some may be handed in with paper. A binder with a schedule of assignments and work papers, will be brought to you on the regular bus run each Monday. It is your responsibility to return the binder to the driver on Monday with your completed work so that a new one can be handed out to you. So, you will have an out binder and an in binder. You will also be provided with access codes to your various on-line programs. Make sure to keep this in a safe place!
To organize your online work, we will use Google Classroom for grades 2-5, and SeeSaw for Pre-K-1. Your on-line assignments should be submitted by 3:00 daily unless otherwise directed. Make sure to put your name and date on all papers and do neat work. Always do your best but do not be afraid to ask for help. Remember that this work counts for your report card grade. Your participation counts as attendance. Mrs. Buuck will be available for help M-W, F 9:00- 5:00, TH 3:00-5:00, via e-mail, chat space, or phone.
I am excited about working with you!
Mrs. Buuck
