2nd Class: Kay Cooney Hi Everyone! Hope you are all well and that you had a lovely midterm break and have recharged those batteries!! There is some indication that we may be back in the classroom next week but let’s keep up the great work at home for this week! I hope you have managed to log into the Oxford Reading Owl website for free ebooks. It’s so important to keep up a little reading each day. Be sure to keep up the daily exercise also with Jack Hartmann or Joe Wicks or make up your own routine! A reminder for those of you who print the work to maybe check beforehand as you may not need to print every page! Some of the reading etc could be done online and would be more environmentally friendly also! Be sure to continue emailing in samples of your work. Have a good week!
