Hi everyone! Happy Monday to all. I hope everyone is staying home, staying safe and staying healthy in this difficult time. As much as we may be going stir crazy at home, it is imperative that we abide by the governor’s stay at home order to keep everyone safe and healthy.
The week after spring break we will begin our online, live lessons. I will be posting and sending a remind about what days and times I will be going live for lessons. If you are unable to join live, then the lessons will be recorded for you to view later (hopefully). This is the first time I will be trying this, so please excuse any mistakes or problems that may arise.
Spring Break – April 6 – 12. No online work will be given. Please continue to read at home everyday.
Please continue to take care of yourself and your family. Also, please make sure you are sending me videos and pictures of the work that is being completed at home! I appreciate the many pictures and videos that I have received. I would like to receive a daily or every other day picture of work completed. I am also keeping track of time logged in on Freckle. You need to complete work in Reading/ELA and math on Freckle. If you need a Chromebook, please reach out to me immediately.
Thank you and take care!
Love – Ms. Wentland
