Spring Break
The Remote Learning activities are designed for the days of school that were canceled. If kids work on Remote Learning through Spring Break, they may run short of activities for the following week.
How and when to have kids work on these activities is at parent discretion. I have heard stories about kids that are working so hard to complete everything as fast as possible and I had one student email me direction asking if he had to anything! : )
Missing our students!
