Good morning everyone!
For today’s class, start the day by joining me on Discord to be ready for class to start at 9 a.m. It is best to login at least 5 minutes earlier to deal with technical difficulties. Click on our text and voice channel (mr_contes_class). We will begin each day this way. If I am not there, I may be experiencing Wi-Fi issues. Please be patient. We will follow our daily schedule as closely as possible.
During the exhibition process, specialist teachers (Mr. Orr, Mr. Oliver, Mme. Stella) with help facilitate learning for each of the exhibition groups during their scheduled class times. A quick message from Mr. Oliver regarding instruments: Please make sure to clean your instrument thoroughly before using it. You can find detailed instructions by going to this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl93cyWnxvA&list=PLBB340E3D47C8B506

Remember to visit Ms.
Hayward’s library blog for more information about researching. Below you will
find the databases she spoke about yesterday morning’s workshop.
Work that is not completed during class time will need to be completed as homework. Students should put more focus into reading at this time as well ensuring they are reading for a minimum of 30 minutes per day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out so I can clarify and assist.
