Reasons why a schedule shift will be OK for 

Mrs. Schulenberg-Cole's kids:

1. They are open-minded and flexible. 

2. They are smart, mature learners and will seek out education in new formats. 

3. They know that Mrs. Schulenberg-Cole has their back. Learning will continue, clearly communicated and supported. 

4. They know the expectations of the class. We have already covered writing, reading, discussion, and thinking expectations. 

5. They have goals for their futures and are able to connect the learning in class to supportive of these goals. 

6. They CAN self-motivate. Just because it is tough and or new does not mean that they cannot do it succcessfully. 

7. They can come to Mrs. Schulenberg-Cole with questions about the material, time managment, or stressors that they may be encountering. 

8. They know it is temporary. They know that their smart decisions will help them get to a normal school setting. They will wash their hands, keep their distance from groups, and know how their positive community actions will positively impact them personally. 

9. They trust that Mrs. Schulenberg-Cole will balance forward movement through the material with an acute awareness of the adjustment period for students. 

10. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST KIDS IN THE SCHOOL! 💓
