Newsletter for Week of March 30 - April 3

Note from the Teacher:

            
         The students are doing a great job embracing this new way of virtual learning! Everyone is showing up on time to our Zoom meetings prepared and ready to learn! We are getting the hang of Google Classroom as well. Each day gets a little easier.  Most of all, the kids really miss each other. I know I sure do miss seeing them.  

Thank you for picking up their learning packets. The students said they wanted hard copies in addition to using digital tools. Please encourage your child to follow the "Week at a Glance" schedule and not work ahead.  I want to balance the work load and pace the assignments until our next pick up time.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. Thank you for your patience and support!

Don't forget to check the enrichment classes' blogs for learning activties and videos.
