School Closed till May 1st

As of now we have been asked to let parents know we will be teaching digitally from April 6th week until May 1st. We will keep parents posted with any new information regarding the Corona Virus and when we will physically come back to school.

Book Reports

Parents,
 
I want to remind you that book reports are due tomorrow. Please take a photo of your child's poster and send through DOJO and /or post on the assignment slot for SEESAW. I can't wait to see all the kids book posters!

ZOOM live next week

Parents,
 
DOJO videos are working and I love creating fun and educational assignments that your child can do more at home while learning from the packets that were sent home. Starting Monday, I will be doing a zoom meeting video with the kiddos to see their cute faces and they can ask any questions during that time. Monday meetings will be 15 mins long. 9:30am, 11:30am and 4:00pm are the available times I can do meetings. Please send me your email so I can add you to the ZOOM meeting list.

Brain breaks are super important for the kids as well. Giving them ample opportunities to break while doing their work is best for their learning. Watching a GoNoodle, jump rope, paper airplanes, and even dance parties all help for a 5-10 min break.
