Hello 2A Families! This week we are transitioning to Google Classroom! Please follow the instructions that were given on Friday in order to sign up and start exploring the classroom. There is a place for you to turn in packets one and two from the previous weeks, and find work for the upcoming week. The daily schedule is moreso a pacing guide. We understand that some families have parents still working from home and might have designated homework days, or have more than one child needing access to the computer to work. Work for the week will be due the following Monday, with the exception of the first due date (next Tuesday). Our weekly Zooms have changed slightly to Tutoring with Mr. Kiehne on Tuesdays, and our Zoom Community on Friday. This week’s community building will be discussing the virtue of the month, Integrity! We will be assisting with troubleshooting and updates on Google Classroom this week, and will be able to direct you to tutorials and answer questions you might

My cat Abbie doesn’t think I’m funny 😒 My son Elias and I have taken a few walks last week to get fresh air! You have most likely by now received the 2nd Grade Packets. If you have somehow missed it, you may locate the online version of the packet HERE . I urge you to consistently check in with updates on the Great Hearts website, as the FAQ will have the most recent updates.
