Parental Guidance
We will be using a third-party tool called LUMIO Smart Suite for our lessons. I will be sharing a link to the lesson so that the students and I can go through the material together. All activities on LUMIO may only accessed during our live class as the link becomes inactive when I end the lesson. Students will not need an account of any kind to view our content on LUMIO. They will be asked to enter their first name so that I can track all feedback from students during the lesson. No other information is requested or required.
Supply List
All materials will be provided to the students.
