Welcome to our 5th week of remote learning. At this time you are expected to turn in your all of your assignments to Google Classroom ONLY.
Send your comments and questions to me via email only. If you DO NOT SUBMIT your assignment to Google Classroom, I will send you a message informing you that I cannot take your work via email. You are required to submit your google docs (not Google Classroom messaging) for each assignment to Google Classroom designating them to the proper assignment alignment.
I am receiving double entries. For me to assess your work quicker, you MUST FOLLOW ALL OF THE DIRECTIONS on each assignment. When you do not complete all of the elements within an assignment, I will return it to you. The expectation is that you re-submit the assignment that has been completed thoroughly within a couple of days.
Work to your best ability because you are preparing for the next year's knowledge expectations and mastery levels.

Begin working the noredink.com assignments. The lessons are set up inside the program. You do not need to submit work outside the program. The program grades your work and I can pick up your information as you complete each lesson.

“Confusing Words III”
Welcome to our 5th week of remote learning. At this time you are expected to turn in your all of your assignments to Google Classroom ONLY.
Send your comments and questions to me via email only. If you DO NOT SUBMIT your assignment to Google Classroom, I will send you a message informing you that I cannot take your work via email. You are required to submit your google docs (not Google Classroom messaging) for each assignment to Google Classroom designating them to the proper assignment alignment.
I am receiving double entries. For me to assess your work quicker, you MUST FOLLOW ALL OF THE DIRECTIONS on each assignment. When you do not complete all of the elements within an assignment, I will return it to you. The expectation is that you re-submit the assignment that has been completed thoroughly within a couple of days.
Work to your best ability because you are preparing for the next year's knowledge expectations and mastery levels.
There are no short-cuts. By NOT doing your best, you only shortchange yourself and your future. Your preparation determines your success.
Begin working the noredink.com assignments. The lessons are set up inside the program. You do not need to submit work outside the program. The program grades your work and I can pick up your information as you complete each lesson.
Please let me know when you have concern through my email.
