Dear Grade 6s,

Based on my conferences with you yesterday, most of you have completed the essay organizer.  We will continue focusing on writing the various drafts of the essay today and for the remainder of this week. Please refer to the schedule below to know where to be and what document to be working on at various times of the day. We are going to attempt our first Zoom meeting today. YAY! We will go over how to do this in the morning general session on Discord.

You will begin today’s class with Ms. Jaskolka on the Grade 6 Discord Server and Zoom. Be ready for class to start at 9 a.m. It is best to login at least 5 minutes earlier to deal with technical difficulties. If I am not there, I may be experiencing Wi-Fi issues. Please be patient. We will follow our daily schedule as closely as possible.
