With the school year coming to an end, I wanted to congratulate you on surviving "Remote Learning"! With the summer approaching, you will finally have some time to unplug and enjoy your time away from the grind of Zoom meetings and Google Classroom assignments. In the meantime, please bookmark this link. When you are ready to recharge, feel free to access everything I have shared this year in my "virtual classroom." Like Willy Wonka's fruit-flavored wallpaper where everything is lickable, everything in my virtual classroom is clickable. Enjoy!
