Dear Parents, 

This week instead of our regular Monday-Thursday specials, we are having a Virtual Field Day on Tuesday, May 12th.  Of course, you can do it another day if you prefer.  Please click on the Flipgrid link below.  Once you are on Flipgrid, you will see the first topic “Special Education”.  On the right side of this topic, you will see the words “7 topics”.  You will need to click on the down arrow in order to see all the grade levels.  Click on your grade level.  You will then watch the attached Virtual Field Day video and record any of your field day video responses to your grade level Flipgrid.  That way others in your class will be able to see your video.  Have fun and we can’t wait to watch you wonderful responses!!
