Orientation

Thu Jul 7, 2022, 5:15 PM

These sessions will be approximately thirty (30) minutes during my lunch break, so we will have limited contact time; however, I will provide additional resources for your learning and practice, and check my Schoolhouse messages daily for any questions.
This first session will cover a quick orientation and ice breaker activity, as well as a very brief introduction to what we will be covering.
