Message from Melissa
I hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday. I know it was too short, but it always is.
As we wind down the semester, please let me know if there is anything you need help with. I would be happy to assist with developing lesson plans and activities, establishing a pacing plan for next semester, brainstorming/creating engaging activities to use with the students, etc.
Just send me an email to schedule a time to meet.
Have a great week.
Melissa
