Sunday, May 3 - Week 4 Online Learning

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Phase one for the reopening of Saskatchewan starts tomorrow!  I hope you all continue to stay safe and healthy during these trying times.  Again, thank you for supporting your children with their online learning.

Below is the schedule for classes for this week.

Note that there is NO 2pm class on Tuesday, ONLY a 11am class on that day.  So, for this week the classes take place at 11am Monday-Friday.  (EVERYDAY!)

I have added THEME days so students will do a beginning activity at the beginning of each class.  This will take place from approximately 11-11:05am and class will start right afterwards. 

Remember that I am available for questions from 9am-5pm on Monday to Friday through SeeSaw or email for parents.  It is usually easiest for students to contact me through Teams.  I will most likely answer questions after or before these times but it may take longer for me to reply because I'm trying to find my own balance between work and home life.
