Dear colleagues,
We hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend and had an opportunity to stay away from screens. We would like to
thank you for all the feedback and suggestions you are planning to try out during the live teaching sessions this
week. This week we continue our quality distance learning and designing daily learning sessions. What makes this
somewhat challenging is that we are simultaneously living in the present and looking ahead to the unpredictable
future. We plan to continue this emergency model for a longer period of time and adding live teaching as the final
component of the program.

On Tuesday and Thursday, this week, all classroom teachers will have further opportunities to try out, hone, and
build expertise in live teaching. Finally, on Friday we are hoping to have the hybrid model of asynchronous and
synchronous teaching and learning finalized and it to be gradually implemented in the following weeks. This is of
course in case of not opening the school on the 13th.

We would like to ask you to continue to invite all three, Riana, Trevor and Heikki, to your daily collaborative
planning meetings by using Google Calendar invites. No need to add the meetings to the additional google
document anymore. We try to visit as many of the meetings as possible in order to keep our fingers on the pulse
regarding distance learning as well as your workload and wellbeing. Please follow this link to the provisional
proposal of the hybrid model for distance learning. We will need your feedback and suggestions regarding the
model in our Wednesday meeting.
