I hope your Home Learning is going well. I will continue to post an outline of the day for the remaining weeks. However, the post may be a little later than usual, as I am also teaching those students who continue to attend school each day in person. I will continue to respond to emails as often as I can during regular school hours.

I know this continues to be an extremely challenging time for parents and I appreciate every effort! 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
