Help Shape Our Remote Learning Plan

Your Voice Matters! The coronavirus crisis has thrown all of us into a learning situation that is highly unusual. Instead of learning together in our classroom, we are now doing school online. This is new for all of us -- students, teachers, administrators -- everyone. The Revere school district is introducing a new plan for how we will learn remotely in the 4th quarter, which starts Monday. Some of what we do online will look similar to what we’ve been doing. Some will be new, including grading and credit for assignments. The new remote learning plan is posted here on the RPS website. You can find it in four languages if you go to reverek12.org .

Author's Point of View, etc.

Happy Tuesday! I just added a Google Classroom lesson about Author's Point of View. When reading informational texts, "author's point of view" (standard RI.7.6) refers to the author's opinion about the topic he or she is writing about. You can do the lesson any time this week.

So here's everything due this week: Read Chains ch. 11-15. (Don't forget the introduction vide...

Office Hours

Happy Monday! Thanks to all who read and signed off on my Grading Policy for Remote Learning in ELA . As of this morning, there are 6 graded assignments in PowerSchool, and I am currently grading last week's assignment, the final analysis questions for Chains . In my eternal quest to make remote learning more user friendly, I have added office hours that I will keep through the end of the school year: Monday: 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Tuesday: 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday: 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Thursday: 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Friday: 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. The purpose of this schedule is to provide students and parents/guardians with consistent two-hour blocks when you can reach me. (Of course, you can still reach out any time and I will respond as quickly as possible, as I have been doing since all this began.) To reach me: Call or text: (978) 561-9092‬ Email badelman@reverek12.org Message me through Google Classroom (all assignments have a “private message” feature) Chat or video confe...
