We have been given the guideline of providing approximately 1-2 hours per day of online instruction for first graders. Although it is difficult to meet everyone's needs, we have given you more than this time frame in the form of optional extensions, should you feel like you need or want it. Top priorities during this first hour(s) should be given to daily math, daily reading and daily writing. Please feel free to make daily accommodations to what we have planned in order to make this work at your home.
