Resources for keeping a schedule/routine: 

During these times there are a lot of unknowns. Creating a simple schedule or an attainable to-do list can be a good way of keeping children on-task and aware of what is coming next. Here are some resources you can use to create one that will work for your family.

Welcome back to online schooling

Apr13

Welcome back to online schooling!!! I hope everyone had a relaxing Spring Break and stayed safe and healthy with their families.

Starting today, we are back to work! Students should be going onto iReady everyday for 30 minutes and completing a lesson on Zearn everyday.

Great job to those students that caught up on their work during the Spring Break. If you still have missing ReadWorks assignments or Reading Workbook, they are all due this coming Friday, April 17th. All assignments were posted on Google Classroom in March.

There is a new ReadWorks assignment posted in Google Classroom today. Please work on it this week and have in completed by Friday.

I will be scheduling a Google Meet with the class for later this week. More information will be sent to you soon.

I miss everyone and I hope you are all staying safe!
