TECH, ART, MUSIC COLLABORATION SCHEDULE
Please access this spreadsheet to share topics or ideas your grade level will be working on. It will help Peggy, Brenda, and Katie know what you're doing in class so they can help coordinate and plan thematic activities in their classes. It's also a great way for grade levels to collaborate with each other and buddy up for combined activities!
