Homework, News, and Announcements

This post is for our school day for Tuesday May 11th. 

Wednesday will be Day 5 on our daily cycle and we will be following our regular schedule as we always would, so you will be doing Literacy, Math, Science, Drama, and French. You will be going to the Google classrooms for each subject to get your work that I have posted.

Today will be SYNCHRONOUS learning, meaning that  we will be live for most of the day except for 25 minutes each block for independent work and except for recess and lunch. 

As usual the school day begins at 9:10am.
