I've been thinking a lot about how we need to change in this new time of life. Change means a lot of us are going to be making mistakes, and that’s okay. We are all in this together!

As of today, all work is considered to be enrichment. However, this is your chance (your students' chance) to show us what you are made of. I would encourage ALL students who are able to participate, to do the work to the best of their ability. As a teacher, I am doing the assignments right along with my students so I can ensure they are accessible and are not too time-consuming. I am working to give students the academic practice needed to keep up skills for next year.
