April 14-19 Introducing Google Classroom!

It was so much fun connecting with all of you last week through Google Meet. I can't wait to do it again this week! Remember this week to bring something you would like to share. Maybe it is a favorite memory, a favorite game, a favorite toy, something you have found on one of your nature walks, a art project, a lego creation, a new pet, a great book, or even a favorite new activity or toy.

The next Google Meet will be on Wednesday April 15th at 10 AM

ilagrana2 is the code to get into the meet. 




Here is our Learning Plan for the week of April 14-19. We are using this week to transition into using Google Classroom to submit our assignments. Please watch the instructional video by Mrs. Yoon in order to become familiar with how to sign into Google Classroom:
