Keep an eye on Facebook for updates this week of each classes progress toward their goal and for the leaderboard!
Reminder: Weekly minute logs are due each Tuesday. Late forms will be counted for individual student goals, but cannot be added to class totals or included in leaderboard tallys. This is due to the fact that our grade 7/8/9 class collects, counts, and graphs the minutes each Tuesday as part of our current math unit. Thanks so much for your participation!
