Week of 3/16-3/20 Environmental Science

Daily Assignment (3/16-3/19) Hi! Your next assignment is on Khan Academy again. You will be completing 2 modules over the next few days. The modules are Community Ecology, and Ecological Relationships. They are both due Sunday at 11:59 pm. If you have not already signed up for Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org) please do so today. Please be sure to use a screen name that is school appropriate and that let's me know who you are. I'd suggest something like first name. last initial. Then join my Environmental Science class using the following codes: 2nd Block: GHJRZACN Once you've been added to the class and I've approved it (be patient this might take some time depending on the time of day), you should see the assignments. If you don't see it and you're approved for my class, log out of Khan Academy and close the browser window. Then reopen the site and log back in. It should be there. Again, if you are having problems with anything, please contact me and let me know what's going on. Also, if you have any questions about the assignment or the material it covers, please let me know. Virtual Check In for Friday (3/20) Hi everybody! In addition to the Khan Academy modules you are working on (due Sunday at 11:59pm), I wanted to offer you the chance to check in with me. If you have concerns, questions, or just need to chat, sign up for one of the slots at the link below and I'll connect with you tomorrow! You can chose to have a check in over the phone (make sure you leave your number) or I'll set up a virtual meeting for you on Zoom (you can run it from a desktop, or your phone) if you want to connect face to face. Make sure to let me know how you want to meet during sign up! Also, if all of the time slots are taken, and you want to meet with me, send me an email and we'll figure out another time that works for everyone. I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone soon! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050A4FA8AA2EA5FA7-check
