Homework:
In Language Arts today the students had the opportunity to create a learning plan for themselves online. Typically, this is something that we keep a record of in the students’ planners but we have decided to take it digital starting with our incoming sixth graders. This is something we will continue to work on and build upon throughout the course of the school year.
