Some of you may be wondering why some of our classes have different activities and due dates from time to time. The reason for this is because although our classes cover the same content, we do it at different paces and through different activities that are better suited for our classrooms. Please do not fret, your children are all receiving similar experiences. Sometimes, we have pre-service teachers who need to come in and teach a class period. We may also have an assembly or need to re-teach a topic from a previous day. All of these things can affect our timelines and get the team out of synch from time to time, but we always get back where we need to be. Why am I posting this today? I am posting this today simply because some of our plans are different for the upcoming week and our team does not want you to be alarmed. Have a great week!
