Get ready for a busy and successful day. Eat breakfast.
Log into her online classroom and go through the day’s schedule to see the lessons and assignments she needs to complete, prioritizing more complex lessons she may need more time on like AP Macroeconomics and AP Calculus.
Check in with her Learning Coach and let him know what assignments she’ll be working on so he can be prepared to help if needed.
Get right to it, moving through the day’s lessons for each of her courses and then completing required assignments. Check to make sure she’s understanding everything and reach out to her teachers or Learning Coach if she needs support.
Take time to help with chores around the house like cleaning and laundry.
Continuing going through the day’s lessons, attending an AP English Literature LiveLesson® or watching a recorded version of a recent LiveLesson® if she missed it. Connect with fellow students to talk about any upcoming group projects. Take any scheduled quizzes or tests.
LiveLesson sessions are real-time online learning sessions where teachers, students and peers meet in the online classroom. Teachers engage students with activities and demonstrations to reinforce challenging concepts.
