#Our assignments will continue to be in Google Classroom. Please check there each morning for an activity. We will do a short daily activity instead of trying to do longer activities on odd or even days as we would in the normal schedule.

#Do your best to complete each activity. Sometimes you just have to do what you think is right even if you aren't sure. That's ok. We are all learning, which means not always knowing things right away. Your effort is the most important thing here.
