- Weekly Assignments Checklist
Here’s the joke/riddle of the day!
A few things to keep in mind while working:
- If you are working with Katherine, do her assignments first.
- Put on a timer for the time indicated for that subject. Once that timer dings, move on to the next work!
- Take body breaks! Try out GoNoodle!
- We’d love for you to share what you are up to! Let us know of any links/resources that you find interesting, and we’ll add it to our list of things! Also, email us pictures of what you’re up to, and a caption, and we’ll create a gallery of these pictures to post on Friday. (You’ll have to share the pictures by Thursday for them to be included on the Friday gallery!)
- Please let us know if there is too much or too little work and if something is challenging for you. We want you all to be successful in Distance Learning, and we’re here to help!
Things that are due today. (Please take a picture of all of these assignments and email them all at once to Jackie and me):
