Monday, April 20 E~learning

Good Morning 3D! I hope everyone had a restful weekend.

Please watch the video first, then read the blog for further details.

Remember to plan out your day. Do an assignment. Take a mental break (go outdoors, listen to music, play a board game – whatever you need.) Then come back and tackle another assignment. That seems to be the best approach and one where you can get the most out of your day!
