TUESDAY APRIL 7, 2020


Today's Updates...


Please check here each day for a 'morning message' featured in this section.  Please watch it as a start to your 'school routine'.    There will be no new posts on Friday (Good Friday) or Monday (PD Day).  Enjoy the long weekend!

Thank you very much for the excellent work in your visual journals on your T chart and predictions.  We appreciate the effort that you have put into them.  

Reminder - We are presenting our blog at noon each day in order to allow for any updates or changes in information to be shared with families at this time.  Assignments are NOT due that day!! Our hope is that you are able to complete the work by noon the following day or soon thereafter.  We understand that everyone's schedule at home is different so please do not worry or push students past what they, and you, can manage on a given day.  If you require support with anything, please send your child's responsibility teacher an email and they will assist you.

Remember to BREATHE!!  You are doing great with something that is new for everyone and we appreciate you!
