Thursday - 
6G Per 1 - Today we will wrap up whatever we did not finish yesterday.

Laptops assigned to all students. We will send a form home for those families who need to check out a laptop to use for the year. If families choose, students can either take their laptops home every day or leave them at school every day.

We will go over caring for laptops. Students will sign up for their Math & Science Google Classrooms and their Math & Science Classcraft accounts.
