Mrs.

Alwardt’s Reading and Language Arts Classes:

March 23, 2020

Hello, 5th grade Reading and Language Arts students! I can’t wait
to learn with all of you tomorrow!

Below is what we will be working on for Monday, March 23rd. I

will be on Teams video chat from 9:00-10:30am if you would
like to join for our instruction and discussion. Ms. Alston will be
online with us, to give you instruction on math. The link to the
Teams video chat will be sent through Remind, so that it is not
available to the public. Please e-mail me
(sarah.alwardt@cobbk12.org) if you are not set up on Remind,
so I can send you the information.
