A quick look at what we did in the classroom each day - Start here if you are absent, but most importantly check your Google Classroom - not just assignments, but the material posted each day. I will post the classroom presentation from each day in the afternoon so you can see what you missed. For interested parents, here is where to find a better answer than the "Nothing" my kids told me when I asked the question, "What did you do today?" The day's presentation is also linked under the date.
