Hello Everybody!

School re-opened for families who chose to come back and although it was very hard not to see everyone return, I want you to know we have been ensuring that the children who are back are all returning safely and I am having fun being physically back in the building creating fun bins, completing Reading, Writing and Math work etc.  We went on Nature walks, maintaining physical distance, playing hopscotch, doing Action Kit outside and enjoying the fresh air.

 

Thank you to all of you who helped me wish Mr. Birlie good luck at his new school.  Many of you know that although it is hard not seeing your friends, we are continuing our Zoom Class Wednesdays at 11:00am – 11:30am along with Music with Mr. Smith on Thursdays 1:00 – 1:30pm.  Thank you in advance to Blue Group members who will be sharing for Show and Tell / Sharing any news this upcoming Wednesday.  See script under Week at a Glance “Wednesday” for more details.  Also, Mrs. Shaennen is continuing to zoom 1:1 with children to work on Raz Kids, Boom cards and so much more.

Thank you to Ms. Yu for continuing to create fun boom cards for all of our learners!
