1st Week Down..Almost
Lesson Plans and Assignments
Given changes made at the district level, on Mondays, students will only be receiving one review lesson in one content area. The remainder of the week will include lessons in all content areas, similar to this past week.
Another change is that students are being given 2 additional days to complete their work. All work must be completed and turned in no later than Sunday, 3/29, by midnight, rather than on Fridays.
We will be sharing next week's lessons with you on Monday at 12:00 PM.
Lesson plans will be available in multiple locations. We will send them via email (a S'more), post them on our Google Classroom, and post them on the Smith website.
