Murray's Gifted Resources
May 18th - COVID 19 Edition
A Note from Mrs. Shook
I hope you all are finding some time to enjoy the beautiful weather that we've had lately. I never would have imagined that the school year would end this way. I appreciate the dedication your families have made to online learning.
I have been doing a live Gimkit with random trivia on Thursdays at 10 AM. This week, I am going to change the time to 3 PM. I would love for you to join me! I will post the code in the Google Classroom stream and I will email it to you.
7th Grade Students - You are now able to apply for high school courses at Murray if this is something that interests you. I encourage you to watch the video and apply if this is something that interests you. I will post the link as an assignment in Google Classroom.
Please let me know if I can help support you in some way, even if it is with your regular classroom.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Shook
