Hello everyone! I am sure you have gotten the message by now about the next 2 days of school. We will have remote learning classes, there will be no school on campus.
*Our Zoom meeting is scheduled for 10:30 tomorrow morning. I will share a link in a separate blog just to keep it a little more orderly.
*Below are pictures of the assignments for tomorrow, February 27, 2024. I will explain each one in our 10:30 Zoom meeting tomorrow.
*I really suggest that your child does not try doing the assignments until after our
Zoom meeting so it will all be clear. They can always write Spelling list 21 though if anyone wants a jump on the list.
*I will be available to help the students or answer any questions you may have tomorrow.
*History notebooks will be on hold until we return to school unless you are still behind on past assignments. If you are waiting for something to be printed, do not worry, we will tackle all of that when everyone is healthy!
*Here is a video about clouds that I would like the students to watch.

WV History Notebook: This weekend, please check your child's table of contents page. As they complete something, we check it off on there. This will show you what they are missing. We have worked up to page 87. The pages we will complete next week are 91, 93, 97, and 101. That will complete their notebook. There are Optional Reports that they may do as extra credit. I will make that available to them next week.
