We made it through the first week of the new year, and it was a tough one. As I left school before Christmas break, I had everything planned out and my copies were made. I knew what we were doing each day when we returned to school. Boy oh boy, did God have different plans for us!
Last week was a crazy week! All my students did a fabulous job whether they were remote or in the classroom. I hope everyone had a fun, playful snow day!
This week, I am going to plan on doing the ELA and Spelling Tests on Thursday. We will see how it goes.
