Tuesday, March 24th, 2020, Day 2


We had a successful online learning day yesterday.
For today’s class, start the day by joining me on the Grade 6 Discord Server to be ready for class to start at 9 a.m. It is best to login at least 5 minutes earlier to deal with technical difficulties. Click on our text and voice channel (ms_haag_class). We will begin each day this way. If I am not there, I may be experiencing Wi-Fi issues. Please be patient. We will follow our daily schedule as closely as possible. 
During the exhibition process, specialist teachers (Mr. Orr, Mr. Oliver, Mme. Stella) with help facilitate learning for each of the exhibition groups during their scheduled class times.
