Dear parents,
With so much illness in the school, I thought you'd like an easy way to help your kids stay on top of their assignments. This is just an experiment, but if it works for you, I'd be happy to make the effort to keep it up. I plan to post our daily schedule, the math warm-up, the DOL and the Quick Write, as well as the activities we have planned for each day. Of course, things change during the day, so what the schedule says we do, may not be what we do exactly. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Mrs. Cameron
