ENGLISH 10E

February 1-5, 2021 (Mon-Fri)

Hi Class!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

This week, February 1-5, is our Recovery Learning Assessment Week. During this period, you can revisit and reflect on your learning. Think about the lessons that you think you did well as well as those that you were challenged with. Plan on how you can improve and better your knowledge and skills in learning English. You can also work on your outstanding assignments/assessments; Course Reflection. This is a good opportunity for you to improve your marks, too.

If you need help or if you have questions, feel free to jump in our Google Meeting during our class hours. I will be happy to help you. You can also email me afernando@wsd1.org.

Have a great day!
