Learning Log #1 Work Samples Due September 17th, completed Learning Log Due Oct. 1st… Message from Tina Hannouche:


Good afternoon Da Vinci Families,  

My name is Tina Hannouche and I am in charge of helping students with their learning logs. You will hear from me throughout the year with reminders for due dates and check ins if your student has fallen behind on their logs. Here is a slideshow that I shared with the students during orientation to help them understand the purpose of the logs, and how to complete them. 

Below are some expectations for the students: 

  • Logs should be completed every day they work from home
  • All 3 classes must be included each day (copy and paste what is assigned on Canvas)
  • Even if a students is absent from in person school, they can still be working from home (that can be written on the logs) 
  • Logs and work samples must be submitted on time

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have, or if your student is having trouble with their learning logs. 


Best,

Tina
