CLASS STRUCTURE: 
Students will receive instruction in a lecture style but then will be given practice opportunities, both in class and at home. I try to keep children unmuted during class for participation but will mute to minimize distractions as needed. Each week students will receive classwork printouts  to check for understanding in class.
