Hope everyone is doing well. Here are a few tips for the upcoming week.
*Second grade will go live on Zoom at 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. You will find the link to this on Google Classroom.
*Your child will need to have a pencil, notebook (if you have one available at your home) or some paper that must be kept in a folder. Notebooks and or papers will be handed in upon return to school.
*Please be sure to check Google Classroom on a daily basis for all assignments.
*Google Classroom questions and forms will be completed on line.
*We would like to continue the learning process with the least amount of distractions. Therefore we are asking that your child be alone in a quiet place so he/she can focus on the live sessions.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me. Stay healthy and God bless you!
