Dear Parents,

I hope you had a good weekend. I’m writing to touch base. At the moment our Kindergarten team is working hard to put together thoughtful programs to support your child’s learning at home. We will be collaborating and making plans to send you this week. As soon as we have something ready, I will let you know.
In the meantime, I ask that you please go to the district website to find learning activities to use with your children at home. The suggested time for at home learning is about 5 hours a week… so 45 minutes to an hour a day of school activity will be enough. If in your world time for education is limited, focus on doing one literacy and one math activity a day, if you can. Make sure your child has time for physical activity each day and eats healthy food.

I have created a Microsoft Teams for our class. I will be posting weekly assignments and updates on Team. If you did not receive an email with the link or have issues with Teams, please let me know. For today please get familiar with the program, email or post on teams to let me know that you are able to access your child’s account.

If you would like to start an activity with your child, you can have your child make a ‘Gratitude box’. This could be a box or any other container you have in your home. Your child could decorate what you choose to use. On as regular a basis, have your child draw a picture and write about something they are grateful for. Feel free to have your child send me a picture or video of their work on Teams, if you’d like, I would love to see it.

Thank you for your patience. Have a great day and stay tuned!

Sincerely,
Beven Lafave
