As I am sure you are aware, today, the Government of Saskatchewan announced that all classes in Saskatchewan pre K-12 Schools will be suspended indefinitely, effective March 20, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As far as business within our Gr. 5/6ME classroom, I will keep you posted when I know more...
Take care!
WELCOME!!!
