I have updated the wakelet resources with some new websites to visit. Take a tour of NYC, find online graphic reads, do some coding, try some new writing ideas, and more. Hope you are well! Hang in there--I know you all are working hard and doing your best to adjust to our new learning format. (Scroll down to March 27.)

All you have to do is record your daily 20 minutes Monday-Friday on a Google Form to be eligible for the weekly drawing of a $50 Amazon gift card. You can even get a second entry by submitting a picture of you reading. The challenge begins this week. Visit this link to get to the entry form and for all the details.

Week 2 of social distancing may make you want to get out but can't. I've compiled a Wakelet board of resources to allow you to virtually go to places--the Great Wall, aquariums, museums, even Disney World! Plus there is a Harry Potter digital escape and some fun STEM activities. I hope this will help you with your time at home.
