00:37:17 James Carlovsky: Let go of your concerns! What a great reminder for us this summer! 00:37:42 Anna Schaefer: Thank you for opening with Scripture! 00:37:49 Ben Raddatz: Good morning, Aaron. 00:39:47 Beth Messman: hahaha 00:41:31 Robert Martens: I do like that picture. 00:42:16 Kristin Knickelbein: Represent! 00:43:50 nmcneill: Beautiful prayer 00:45:55 Michele: I wouldn't say I want to do digital instruction, but the current situation is forcing me to be digital. 00:46:49 mlober: Exactly, Michelle. 00:48:15 Beth Messman: including the parents and caregivers in those relationships 00:51:56 Jen Kellermann: The struggle is that even though we have those expectations, ultimately it takes parents to be on board with those expectations. 00:52:24 Kristin Knickelbein: Jen, my thoughts exactly! 00:52:57 Mrs. Severeid: Home visits could be a great opportunity to get on the same page/team with parents. 00:54:06 Leah Haasch: We need to differentiate expectations for parents AND students in these situations. 00:54:28 Beth Messman: We may need to have school meetings in place of home visits this year. 00:54:51 MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM: Interesting point, Leah 00:54:59 mikeschaefer: It is always a partnership no matter what the setting 00:55:32 Naomi Evenson: yes, individual family school meetings 00:56:37 Phil Gieschen: God blesses our efforts, despite our strengths and weaknesses! Trust Him! 00:56:43 styxr: principals need to have meets too with parents and students to foster the community 00:57:08 Jen Kellermann: Mike, that is true. A challenge that we may face if we start the year with distance learning is being able to establish a relationship with new families to our schools. 00:57:15 Amy B: Indeed, Phil. 00:57:38 Beth Messman: Question: Are there any pastors here who also visit with school families, whether or not they are confirmation students? 00:58:39 Brad Gurgel: The good news is that in most states you can still have small groups meeting together…home visits might need to be at school if families aren’t comfortable welcoming teachers into homes…but we should be able to have a meeting with each new family and student to start building a relationship even if we have to start school fully online 00:58:50 mikeschaefer: Our pastor had regularly scheduled virtual meetings with his confirmation students. 00:59:41 mikeschaefer: Do you mean visit before the school year? 01:00:19 mikeschaefer: Our pastor is part of our orientation night before school starts 01:03:52 Jen Kellermann: The WELS Covid-19 Facebook group was very helpful! 01:05:12 Emily: My "filter" was my 5th grade son! This was a blessing of being a teacher AND a parent at the same time; he helped me see what students would see and fix any problems before sending things out to my students. :) 01:05:13 Beth Messman: My daughter became Carmen Sandiego in her videos for her students. What a hoot! 01:05:16 Rebecca Pruss: Some members of that group have created break out facebook groups for each grade level! Check it out! 01:05:41 Katrina Brohn: If we follow "less is more" would one-on-one meeting with a remedial teacher be considered essential or too much with also keeping up with classroom activities in a distance learning scenario? Thoughts? 01:06:50 Brad Gurgel: Having a daily scheduled Zoom chat with a remedial teacher on Zoom or another video chat platform could be super helpful for students who need the extra tutoring or help 01:07:05 Joshua von Stein: And having problems is ok too. 01:07:53 Nate: Moments of silence. That's great! 01:07:54 Amy Vann: Emily, I also had my youngest (5th) in my class. It was great! I had a test google classroom I would try things in with her and other staff. Sometimes I hadn't seen her until she logged in for Morning Meet and Language Arts from 9-10:15 live every day! 01:08:27 Beth Messman: Katrina-I think remedial teaching is essential and would need to be in addition to regular class presentations, but hopefully with collaboration, you and the other teachers could modify your lessons. 01:08:36 Colleen Loeffler: I am the ELC teacher and met with one of my students everyday to help them through distance learning. I met with other students 3 times a week for their individual math classes. 01:08:50 Amy B: My daughter, has an IEP and during the last part of school she met with her specific teachers individually and I felt it was much more successful than the video lessons. 01:09:02 Leah Haasch: Our local public school did daily zoom meetings with their SpEd teacher. There was not great communication between SpEd/classroom teacher/parents re: expectations. Does this student do *just* SpEd materials (if different) or are they still responsible for all regular classroom materials? Parent was very confused. 01:09:45 Robert Martens: Leah, collaboration across the faculty and every person who works with students is vital and often not utilized to the fullest. 01:10:31 Amy Vann: We did live math, recorded it also, and then embedded it in the assignment. Many students would watch it again or ask questions at office hours. 01:11:17 mikeschaefer: Thoughts on how to deliver art, music, and PE instruction? 01:11:23 Kristin Knickelbein: One benefit of online learning: forced student wait time! Don't have students calling out the answers before others can think! 01:12:45 James Brohn: I would love to see statistics on how many classrooms had live instruction vs. recorded lessons, # of students attending live sessions vs. those who dodm 01:13:01 James Brohn: Oops, didn't attend the live session. 01:13:11 Kris Lindemann: For Art, we can put together a powerpoint of the life and works of a specific artist and then have a step by step art assignment based on that artist's work... 01:13:59 Wendy G: zoom works good for art instruction - we used it as a get together time with an art emphasis. 01:14:04 Mrs. MacArthur: YouTube videos were great for Art class! 01:14:09 Leah Haasch: James, internet was a factor for us. One of our teachers uploaded recorded lessons in the middle of the night because that's when her internet could handle it. 01:14:13 Karleen Oppermann: During my math videos, I reminded my parents and primary students repeatedly that they could pause it and return it the lesson. Leaving them embedded with the lessons was key. 01:14:28 Phil Gieschen: Lori Ehlke on you tube has some great art projects on you tube. She is a WELS teacher in the Lacrosse area! They are varied levels! 01:14:30 Kristin Knickelbein: Lots of museums have walk virtual visits. 01:15:10 Amy Vann: Our art teacher did a choice board of several options. 01:15:19 Michele: My brain break involves a coffee refill. 01:15:33 James Brohn: I know time to get on devices for all their children impacted the ability to have live lessons... 01:15:36 Connie Krueger: Love Lori Ehlke's art videos and so did my families. 01:15:38 Karleen Oppermann: I had a parent who never got internet but used her phone app but even that was difficult for her. 01:15:48 mikeschaefer: Thanks for the art ideas! 01:16:31 Ann: Classical Minnesota Public Radio has great music lessons for various grades and classical kids story time (stories retold and set to classical music) and lots of music videos that cover many different topics. Check out their website. 01:16:34 Wendy G: for younger children, they had to wait for parents to have time to get them online/help. suggestions to help? 01:16:39 Phil Gieschen: The kids took off during covid with Lori's you tube videos! 01:16:53 Katrina Brohn: I had parents appreciate the videos to go back to for both their child and themselves, so they could help their child in math. 01:17:01 Connie Krueger: How many schools are doing a mix of in-person and digital learning this fall? 01:17:06 Michele: I use Go Noodle on Seesaw for movement, the kids love it. 01:17:30 Beth Messman: We didn't do online during the quarantine, but we included American Heart Association calendar of movement activities, and encouraged outdoor activities or indoor Go Noodle sessions. 01:17:49 Connie Krueger: I also used GoNoodle for brain breaks! 01:17:53 Kristin Knickelbein: My daughter is taking phy ed online this summer. I can share the syllabus if interested (in the facebook group). 01:18:20 Jessica Neumann: Deep space sparkle on you tube for art lessons 01:18:45 Susan: Leah, our Title teacher felt compelled to call and have students read to her at least once a week. She was very good at communicating with us. I, as the remedial teacher had an online class called Fast ForWord. The teachers expected less when my students worked on targeted strategies in our remedial program. They could do additional reading if they chose, but were not expected to do so. Hope that helps! 01:19:01 Jen Kellermann: In regards to Art, how did you make sure that the students had all of the supplies needed for projects? 01:19:20 Beth Messman: I used a bingo card to encourage daily independent reading. Winners earned a free book. 01:19:50 Erica Jacobsen: Jen - I sent home art supplies for the week’s project during the weekly work pickup/dropoff. 01:19:52 mikeschaefer: For art, we sent materials home at pick-up drop off time each week 01:19:59 Mrs. MacArthur: We had parents pick up/drop off folders of assignments so I planned at least a week ahead and put any needed art supplies in the folders. 01:20:40 Beth: We were not able to implement complete digital learning during this shutdown. We had weekly Monday pick up of work we had to put together. 01:21:12 James Brohn: Our lower grades had packets, upper grades were digital... 01:21:30 Beth Messman: One parent found out that she could write with dry erase on her rerigerator! 01:21:38 Phillip Rehberger: There are substantial distance programs in both Canada and Australia that do not use digital learning as the primary approach even today. 01:21:41 Kimberly Schuette: Expo markers might have to be added to my school supply list. 01:21:47 Brenda: we sent weekly packets with supplies needed 01:21:55 Phillip Rehberger: So it can be done with limited internet. 01:22:03 Rachel Feld: Socks from the dollar store make good erasers — and you can put the markers right in them :) 01:22:26 Beth Messman: good idea about the school supplies, in anticipation of distance learning 01:22:35 Kimberly Schuette: Good idea! 01:22:40 MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM: Our lowest grades did packets and middle to upper used Google classroom 01:22:47 MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM: Love the markers in socks idea 01:23:02 Robert Martens: Also, work with your school board and congregation is there are advanced needs for families. There maybe a willing donors wanting to reach out to school families in this way. 01:23:06 Beth Messman: less-is-more also important if families have multiple-age students who all need to share one device 01:23:06 Joshua von Stein: I still had a lot of baby socks from my daughters to use as white board erasers. 01:23:17 Beth Sternhagen: I use dry erase markers right on the desks. The kids love writing on their desks! 01:23:39 Beth: How did you send home additional devotions? Or do devotions? Did you set up a live meeting? Send home copies? 01:24:09 Leah Haasch: Beth, my son's teacher recorded Christlight lessons. They were awesome. Our whole family watched together. 01:24:10 Beth Messman: Check with your local libraries for their digital resources 01:24:11 mikeschaefer: Opened everyday with a devotion during virtual meetings 01:24:13 Brad Gurgel: Educreations is awesome for using a photo or file of student completed work and writing on it for feedback while recording. Great for math feedback and helping with problems in Algebra 01:24:17 Robert Martens: Beth, depending on the grade level, devotions rotated around the faculty and pastors. 01:24:33 Joshua’s: if you have an iPad, you don’t need loom. The iPad itself can record the screen and audio! 01:24:40 Emily: Beth, Our local pastors recorded daily devotions to be shared with the entire school. It was a great way for the students to stay connected with their pastors! 01:24:45 Beth Messman: Our pastors provided short daily devotions for families to use during the quarantine, well received. 01:24:59 James Brohn: As a principal, I recorded a daily devotion for families. Some staff recorded their Christ-Light lessons or had devotions during their live Zoom... 01:24:59 MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM: We each recorded daily devotions for our studets 01:25:03 Brad Gurgel: The nice thing about Loom is it creates an easily shareable link to an online video verses a large video file made by your iPad 01:25:28 jweishalla: I used Educreations for all my math videos. I could create the slides with math problems, then go back and record myself while doing/explaining the problems. 01:25:46 Amy Vann: We had a weekly journal. It was great to see how they felt and teach them editing skills between teachers and students. 01:26:02 Karen Wordell: I posted some videos of devotions that Pastor Caleb Schmiege had posted from Divine Savior, Doral. Also available was Pastor Nate Wordell from Mount Olive Appleton. They were an additional devotion, and a new face. The kids loved seeing them. 01:26:27 Colleen Loeffler: We did March madness with 16 book titles that the school voted on. 01:26:57 Jen Kellermann: My husband had done a March Madness with hymns. 01:27:15 Beth: I guess for me Devotions were different than Christ Light. This was my first year in Parochial. I came from public school before this year 01:27:19 Karleen Oppermann: I began a Covid reading journal response immediately when this began. It was very enlightening and cathartic for me and the students. I had specific directed questions for them to address. Ex: what do you miss, is this fair, what will you say to your classmates, how are you staying connected to others (friends and teachers, God)? 01:27:23 MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM: How did you set up your Google Classroom for multi-grades? One classroom for each grade or one for the classroom of combined grades? 01:27:31 grade5: Loom is not just for iPad—it works on all devices 01:27:50 Kimberly Schuette: I did one Google Classroom for all three of my grades 01:28:03 Erica Jacobsen: I had a classroom of combined grades for if they wanted to chat with each other. I then also had individual Google Classrooms for each of the grades, with the actual work. 01:28:03 Jen Kellermann: I did the same thing as Kimberly Schuette. 01:28:25 Beth: It was suggesting that 3rd grade had page for math, 4th grade math but one Christ Light for 3-4? 01:28:26 Amy Vann: I had a group 5-6 homeroom, 7-8 Christlight, and individual for two math groups. 01:28:30 James Brohn: A separate grade allows for a shorter list. Otherwise students are all mixed together alphabetically instead of by grade. 01:28:33 Colleen Loeffler: I set up Google Classroom and had a class for each grade if they have different lessons. My combined 7th/8th grade lit I have has one class because they do the same lessons. 01:28:49 Rachel Feld: Setting up Google Classroom really depends on how many kids and how you set up your classroom. I would have done a classroom per subject because some classes I taught together (Christ Light, Science, Social Studies) and some I taught separate. 01:29:13 Karen Wordell: Thanks, Al! 01:29:19 Beth Messman: Thanks, Prof. Uher! God bless your summer. 01:29:19 Mrs. Severeid: I had just one Google Classroom for everything! Grades 3-4. 01:29:20 Zach Cvikel: It depends on what you do more. If you are going to assign separate assignments often it would be easier to create two. If you do most things the same it would be easier to create one (and assign an assignment to the individuals) 01:29:37 Rachel Feld: I also suggest a whole group classroom so your students can communicate with each other, share pictures, etc. 01:29:41 Judy: Thanks, Al! Great review and great information! 01:29:57 Jen Kellermann: I teach grades K-2 so I had one Google Classroom but separate categories for the different subjects and grade levels under the Classwork tab. I had also sent home a weekly assignment list along with what materials would be needed for each lesson. 01:29:59 Nate: Should 3 or 4 multi-grade classroom have live teaching when you may only teach one or two grades at a time? 01:29:59 Karen Tenyer: Thank you Professor Uher 01:30:13 Andrea Dorn: Thank you for all of your resources and help! 01:30:15 Beth: Thank you so much for all of this information Prof Uher! 01:30:26 Nate Menges: Thank you! 01:30:29 mikeschaefer: Met with each grade for an hour each day. 01:30:44 stacy: Thank you Professor Uher! Excellent resources and a great presentation! 01:30:44 mikeschaefer: Thanks, Shaggy! 01:30:54 Ben Raddatz: Will we get this pdf? 01:30:56 tlindwurm: Thanks for your work! 01:31:04 Rachel Feld: Live teaching really depends on what works for your families — it’s great if they can make it work, but videos are more flexible. 01:31:08 Amy B: Thank you so much! God's Blessings. 01:31:08 Joann Kasten: Great resource. Thank you. 01:31:18 Connie Krueger: Thanks Al! 01:31:21 Phil Gieschen: So helpful for these resources! Thank you! 01:31:25 Kimberly Schuette: I missed where this document will be posted. Can someone fill me in? 01:31:38 Janet Hathaway: How will we get that document of online resources? 01:31:40 Mrs. MacArthur: We recorded Math lessons with the Smartboard recording feature. 01:32:01 mlober: Thanks, Al! 01:32:03 ginar_000: Thank you! 01:32:10 Jen Kellermann: Thank you! 01:32:16 Bill Scharf: Thanks so very much! 01:32:19 Kimberly Schuette: Thanks! 01:32:19 Phillip Rehberger: Thanks, Al. 01:32:27 James Carlovsky: Session 4 Clock Hours: https://forms.gle/Fj7XwV1TLoVHU8mz8 01:32:31 Joshua von Stein: Very good thank you 01:32:32 Daniel Douglas: Thank you! 01:32:32 Robert Martens: Clock Hours: https://forms.gle/Fj7XwV1TLoVHU8mz8 01:32:35 jweishalla: Thank you! 01:32:37 Matt Redfield Grace Falls Church VA: Thank you, Prof. Uher! 01:32:45 Tiffany Stevens: Thanks Prof. Uher!! 01:32:48 Robert Martens: Clock Hours: https://forms.gle/Fj7XwV1TLoVHU8mz8 01:32:49 Kris Lindemann: Thank you everyone for the encouragement, ideas, and support! May Jesus bless all of us! 01:32:54 Mrs. Severeid: It's nice learning from Professor Uher again! Thank you! 01:32:59 kristenmiller: Thank you, Prof. Uher! :-) 01:32:59 Nickie: THANK YOU!!!! 01:33:03 Emily: Thank you so much!!! 01:33:07 Jazzmin Sanchez: Thank you! 01:33:09 James Carlovsky: Session 4 Clock Hours: https://forms.gle/Fj7XwV1TLoVHU8mz8 01:33:10 CKiecker: Thanks!
