Teacher Comments: Since the shut down started I have been offering daily quia lessons for both grades in ELA - Students are accessing them and emailing me if they have questions. The general response is good, not by any means 100%, but in this difficult time I would say that students are doing their English lessons when they can, and it is important that I give them an opportunity for reading and writing every day. Quia does this in a routine that they are familiar with from their classroom. Best wishes to all in this very difficult time!
