We will still do our assignments but they will be on the digital devices and you ll submit/turn in your work to me when you re done. This is an exciting and different experience for us all. We started virtual learning after Spring Break last year so we have some idea about the process. We are serious about what we will be doing this year and have high expectations for every student.
