Let's start the day off right... TOGETHER!

Don't forget:

1. You have to join with your first and last name, no name means no joining.

2. If your backdrop is inappropriate you will be removed.

3. I start with everyone muted, you may remain muted depending upon the size of the group or event.

Log on to your Schoology for all the details!

1. We want your Virtual Hangout Ideas! Missing you all and we want our Beaver Readers to feel the love - VIRTUALLY.  Share your ideas on this form!
   
   
2. Need a book recommendation?  Complete this form and Ms Chambers will email you back!

Beaver Readers- we are starting online school on the 30th and one opportunity is to meet in a Virtual Hangout and talk about what we have been reading, watching, listening to, and laughing about.

You are all invited! Go to your Schoology page for more information from me as we plan for ways to come together and have fun!

You are all missed!
