Good morning,

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

This is just a reminder that my Google classroom is still up and running daily. I do not post there consistently but teachers also have access and can post to it if they so desire. I wanted to make sure that anyone that uses this site had access to the classroom as well, if they wanted.
