Some examples are:
** Dress up like a 100-year old
** Put 100 Smiley faces or stickers on your shirt
** Make a necklace with 100 beads
We can’t wait to see your creativity!!
Tuesday, 1/25 is a GCPS Digital Learning Day
Did you know we have a Tech Help Center on the Craig website? It is full of helpful documents, videos, and links so parents can troubleshoot and solve technology issues at home. We also have a section on Google Classroom help topics. Look for the "Tech Help Center" icon on our website. We encourage you to make sure your child is connected to their teacher's Google Classroom on the device they will be using for the Digital Learning Day before Tuesday.
