I will be using an additional website to make the teaching learning process easier. This is a simpler website, I will be able to post videos to students and have students respond to class work either by written responses or videos. Through this medium I will be able to assign students a grade and respond to their responses.

Upon receiving this blog notification you will receive another email with the code to have your child sign in to SEESAW the website that I will be using.

While Wednesday was very overwhelming, I will make the coming days more manageable.

Please use Thursday and Friday to complete the lesson posted on Wednesday.

A book is assigned on epic for students to read. You should receive the notification once you have accepted the invite and sign up your child on getepic.com
