Work to Complete the Week of March 16th

Due to the school closure, you will need to complete the following work at home. I have added links to the Class Links area on this page to help you find important websites quickly. I also added links in the list of work you need to finish by Friday, March 20th. Keep all of your work in your blue homework folder and your journal I gave you during our conference in the fall. Bring all of the work to school when we are able to return to Miller.

Ask your parents to use Remind Text or email me if you have any questions. Our first week of home learning may be a little unusual, but I know we will be able to work together to make sure you continue learning while you are at home.
