The guidance shared yesterday related to grading in grades K-5.
"Elementary (K-5):  Students will receive no final grade in K-5.  Instead of a final grade, teachers will provide year-end feedback for students regarding learning from the school year."

Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your incredible work during this time! Remember to "sign off" each day and take care of yourselves and your families.

Ideas for self- care

• Read a good book. I love a good true crime mystery!

• Go for a walk. Don't put any pressure on yourself to walk at a certain pace. Just enjoy the outdoors and the fresh air. 
• Bake!

• Binge watch a good tv show. See Steve's recommendation Crip Camp on Netflix.
• Puzzles- crossword, jigsaw, 
• When life gives you lemons- or Amazon Prime Now or whoever does..Make lemonade! I have been using this recipe to make lemonade and it is really great. Plus squeezing those lemons is a lot of exercise.
