Welcome back to week two of e-learning. Thank you to all who engaged last week and sent me your notebooks. This week we are going to start with a new structure. Every week, instead of have two lessons then three for A Day B Day week rotations, we will always have two lessons each week posted on Monday and Wednesday. These lessons will be just a little longer than last week. Friday will be a wrap up day.
