Good Morning! I hope that everyone had a healthy Spring Break with your family. I hope that you enjoy using my new blog.  Please make sure to check it everyday, since I will be updating and sharing information daily. 

Cobb County Schools will now be providing Digital Learning from Monday-Thursday with Fridays being used for students to make up or catch up on work and teacher planning/extra instructional assistance.

Please take some time to explore the extra links that I have provided on my blog.  It is required that the students participate in Music, Art, and PE during this time and those activities will be provided on the Specialists link.  Students can choose between Science and Writing on Fridays.

Two other teacher blogs that you should also explore are the ones from Ms. Thomas (ESOL) teacher and Mr. McClenning (EIP teacher).  They will be sharing important information and resources as well.

I will continue to communicate on Class Dojo for the time being as we all adjust to using the blog.
