Ongoing learning: Week of April 14-19

Hello!

Great to see everyone last Wednesday. Look forward to seeing you all again this week. I hope your doing well and your having fun doing your assignments. Our new assignments for this week will be posted below. Please go to Google Classroom this week and explore the site. This is where we will be posting our learning, and where students will be handing in their work from now on. 


Next Google Meet

This Wednesday, April 15th at 10am we will have our next Google Meet video meeting (please use same code as last week). This will be a show and share where students can show something they have been making over the last few weeks (lego, art, etc), or maybe they would like to share a treasure found outside, or maybe their favorite stuffy. Students can bring one item to share. I also invited Mr. Hamby and Ms. Bradbury to pop in and say hello. I am excited to see everyone again!  

Sign in to Google Classroom!

Every student should have received an email to their school gmail account with an invitation to join Google Classroom. Please click on the link and join this week. :)
