During Spring Break we will not upload any new assignments. There will be materials posted that are optional and students can use this time to catch up and explore past assignments. We will continue to have our Spanish and English 1-on-1 meetings. Our English whole class Zoom meeting will still be on Friday; however it will be a special sharing meeting with crazy hair.
