Division 5,
How was your Victoria Day long weekend? Check out this cool video on why we celebrate Victoria Day!
At the end of last week, Zoom invitations were sent out. You would have received four invitations. One math group, one read aloud, one special guest session, and one social studies lesson. Please email me if you have not received the invitations, or the math time I have given you does not work with your schedule.
Starting next week, we will start class meetings on Monday afternoon. Attendance for class meetings will be optional.
