Welcome back from Mr. Goldstein

Hello Families and Students,

 

I’d like to be one of many to welcome you back to school.  This year will be unique. There will be several challenges we will tackle together, but in the end, we will end up with a greater knowledge of the world events that have shaped society.  I want to ensure everyone that your teachers and principals have worked hard to make this year valuable.  We are excited to execute a lot of exciting new ways of teaching online, that have been developed over the last months.  We collaborate a lot, because we know these are incredibly important times for you--they are for us as well.  We have a great staff at Mountain View that is very enthusiastic to start the school year off running.  One element of teaching social studies, I have always enjoyed, is our unique opportunity to analyze history, and compare it with the events we experience on a daily basis.  I have a feeling this year will give us unique opportunities to engage in these discussions.  

 

I look forward to meeting all of you soon, and learning about who each of you are.  Google Classroom will be our primary tool.  I will paste the google classroom code at the end of this letter.  Try to enter the classroom before September 5th, and let me know if you experience any difficulties.   Here’s a link to a great Google Classroom tutorial that can show some of the features for both parents and students.   I will be posting our Zoom login information on Google Classroom as well so students can meet up at our first online meetings.

 

I look forward to a great beginning.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mr. Goldstein
