Howdy Everyone!

Just a reminder NO WORK IS DUE OR MANDATORY AS OF RIGHT NOW. I will be posting some fun activities and web based games if you are interested in doing some work in the meantime or just want to have some fun learning.

Be kind to others. Write a letter, note or text of encouragement to your parent (s), sibling (s) or any other family members or friends. Fill a bucket just because….. This is not a school assignment. However doing things like this should not have to be 🙂
