March 30-April 3

Happy Sunday! Mrs. Moore and I talked to most of you this week and it sounds like remote learning is going well minus a couple kinks.  

Next week will remain much the same as this week as we work hard to get our Google classroom set up starting the week of April 6th. You will receive a learning packet either digitally or pick it up from school on Monday. These packets are designed so that you are doing a maximum of 1 hour of school work each day. I understand that many parents are either working from home or working out of the home still so do the best you can. 

Thank you for being flexible and patient as we find the best way to serve your kiddos! 

We are having 2 optional Zooms next week! Monday and Thursday at 8:30am. Please check your emails for more details and links for these.

 Thank you for sharing all the pictures and videos from home this week! It added sweetness to my days! Scroll down to see a few!

Also adding sweetness to my life. :)

Happy 6th Birthday Benjamin!

Literature: This week we will explore A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh. We will learn about A.A. Milne’s as an author and his inspiration for the Winnie-the-Pooh. We will explore three different stories ,"We Are Introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh, and Some Bees, and the Stories Begin,” and "In Which Pooh Goes Visiting and Gets into a Tight Place,” and "In Which a House is Built in Pooh Corner for Eeyore."  We will speak to the virtues represented, explore Pooh’s character traits, and find examples of friendship in the story. Our poem is Peter Piper.
