Good morning everyone. Hope you had a great weekend and got to spend time with the friends you have been missingJ. This will be the last week for a focus question. Beginning next Monday, until June 12th, 2020, you will have a bit more choice with regards to your writing assignments. It will be a chance for you to express your creative side and maybe get outdoors at the same time. Have a wonderful week. I miss each and every one of you very much.
