Thank you for all your words of encouragement and patience as we navigated some technical difficulties last week. We appreciate your feedback! I have created a form if you would like to share your opinion and feedback regarding how week one went: Feedback Form
We have added an additional component this week: Math and Science. Please keep in mind, if you are not able to complete a lesson by the end of the day, we understand! Feel free to work through these lessons on your own pace and remember, you are now parent, working parent and homeschool teacher all in one! We are all doing the best we can under these circumstances. Please reach out to us at anytime. We are here to support you and your child.
By now, we hope that you all have the ability to use Freshgrade: Student. Please post a picture or video of your child’s work after they have completed so that we can check in 🙂 We would love to see them. If this app is NOT working for you, please let us know!
