     Dear Parent(s) and students in the Life Skills program,

    I am launching a program that allows students who participate in the Unique curriculum an opportunity to have paper copies of the activities.  If you are interested in having your child obtain copies of the weekly current events, you can pick up prepared folders at Gemini on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00-12:00.

    If you wish to have paper printed copies of the News2You lessons for the current event topic and weather-related worksheets, you can pick them up at Gemini.  Just follow these steps to ensure a safe pick up of materials:

    1.  Please stay in the proper lane as you drive up to Door 1 at Gemini Middle School

    2.  Tell the staff member distributing the "free meals" at Door 1 that you are here for folder pick-up prepared by Mrs. Turnbow.

    3.  You will be handed a color-coded folder of activites for your child to complete at home.  Many of the activites allow for cut/pasting materials, scissor skill practice, and fill-in-the blank exercises using symbols and pictures that go along with the vocabulary words.

    4.  Keep a record of activities completed at home.

    5.  During Google Meet sessions, we will review the worksheets in a group and I will be able to see the completed work!

     

    Remember, you will not be returning the work or the folders back to Gemini.

     

     

    Please be safe and well during this time!
