Lessons have been assigned to them based on their diagnostic test results both in Math and Reading. Within each lesson are brain break games. The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic. Math and ELA are providing some of that time during the week, but not all.
Let's Talk more about FONTS
What you NEED to know!!!!
On the internet a ALOT (i mean ALOT!) of websites where you can find fonts...
Unfortunately, not all of these websites are safe!
One of the best places (aside from ADOBE) is dafont.com
Some websites try to impersonate safe websites...Make sure you go to the right site BEFORE downloading ANYTHING!
On the site, dafont shows you various themes to help you choose a font depending on the feel of the font you are after!
Let's Try!
Under the FANCY header...click COMIC
Now, as you scroll down you will find alot of different fonts that fit in the theme of "comic"

Fonts can be TTF (true type), OTF (open type) etc...there are many but let's stick to these!

Double click the FONT FILE
A new dialog box will open
Click INSTALL and wait (don't press stop)!
Once installed, close the Font box
