A peek at our first week of online learning

Good afternoon Haigh families. I hope each and everyone of you are doing well as we navigate through this unfamiliar time. These next few weeks away from the classroom may feel a little strange, but I am hopeful that with the extra precautions put into place we will be back in school happy and healthy come April. In the meantime, I would like to extend my hand in helping provide a regular learning routine in your home. I will post each Sunday or Monday a list of assignments to ensure your child is continuing to grow academically. Students will do a majority of their work on Google Classroom (please refer to my previous post for a how to list). 

Please keep reading for the list of assignments for the week of 3-16-2020:
