A7: while this is my first year in a low budgeted blended classroom, my greatest resource has been the guidance of my experienced colleagues who have been doing this for years! #engsschat

A5: staying on top of schedule! To make up for any time students lost on culmative assignments, I’ve been offering the last 20 minutes of every block as catchup time for the last week of the marking period #engsschat
