What should I turn in to the teachers: 

Please return the reading log, daily writing page, and reading response if you are not using freckle where we can track their progress and reading. You can simply write down the date and time logged for reading on a piece of paper. Please practice writing daily! Focus on capitals, spacing, and letter formation and punctuation. Most students were up to 3-4 sentences before all of this happened.

As always, stay safe and be well my families! Missing everyone!
