WELCOME TO MR. SIHOTA’S CLASSROOM

Thanks for visiting this website.  I hope you are all doing well and found creative ways to spend your time at home.  Online schooling will look differently than the classroom.  I hope to communicate with all of you through this blog (providing announcements), emails (my email is kash.sihota@burnabyschools.ca), and Microsoft Teams (I have never used it before, but it is another way we can communicate with each other).  Make sure you click on the “ANNOUNCEMENTS” heading to see what we will be doing daily.  Hopefully this will be an effective way to communicate with all of you.  I am looking forward to hearing from everybody! And remember to keep washing your hands and practicing social distancing!
