We're going to stop posting in our mrrestad until I'm back from paternity leave. Instead, I want use to get used to using the posts in Google Classroom to access assignments and the unit guides (in Google Classroom) to access resources. 

The Daily Check-in is now posted in Google Classroom. 

It won't be as organized, but the sub won't have access to this site. Courage!

Also, check out this Registration info for next year!
