Classroom News - April 30

We made it!

Once again, HIGH FIVES to everyone for working extra-hard this week.  As I said in the beginning of this online learning journey, I know that this is not our ideal way of learning.  However, I am proud of everyone for "digging deep and getting the job done" regardless of these challenges!  Way to go!

If your son/daughter still has some INCOMPLETE assignments (Math, ELA, Science, Social, etc.), please encourage them to finish everything up before heading back to school next week.  That way, starting Monday, we can reflect on the week that was, and start fresh into some new learning material.

As before, please review today's Daily Agenda (Friday, April 30) with your son/daughter.

We'll see everyone on Monday, May 3....back at MCK!
