Good Morning Room 8. Time for our weekly check-in again where I hope to hear from you all to see how you are. A short comment to let me know what you have been up to would be excellent!

I have been catching up with some family and friends this week that I haven’t seen in a while (from a distance of course) and I am sure you will all be doing the same. I have been doing lots more cooking and keeping myself active 🙂

Lastly, next week we are going to start a different mini topic. Instead of me choosing, I thought we could have a vote. I will give you a choice of 2 and you should vote for the one you are most interested in learning about. You can just add your choice to your weekly check-in comment. The one with the most votes will be the one we begin next week.

You can choose from:

• Extreme Earth – You will be learn about volcanoes, earthquakes and extreme weather.

• Africa – You will learn about African food, animals, people, countries and much more.

Before Monday, please comment below with your weekly check-in and your choice for our next mini-topic 🙂
