Good morning!

Today is the day of our Virtual Field Trip (via Zoom).  The trip officially begins at 11:15, but students should log in to our Zoom meeting at 11:10 to ensure that we are prepared for our docent.  This meeting is being held on Zoom rather than Teams, which means I do not have the ability to call students in. You can help your student by making sure that they are ready to join the meeting at 11:10.

I also did not get to sending out a reminder of what students still need to complete this week. At the bottom of this post, you will see the list of tasks that should be completed by today.  It would be a great idea to review these with your student.

Happy Wednesday!

Ms. I
