Dear Kindergarten families,

Thank you all for being so supportive as we embark on our third week of remote learning.  It has been wonderful to be receiving your warm, encouraging, and motivating feedback on Google Classroom.   Although we are physically separated due to the COVID-19, our school we be launching another effective  platform:  Zoom Video Communications which will provide the opportunity  for interactive learning and face to face communications with students and parents.  

Therefore, next week we will not only be connected through Google Classroom but also through Zoom. 

Here is the hyperlink to the video tutorials for Zoom:

ELA: READER'S AND WRITER'S NOTEBOOK:
New pages  and ELA activites will be assigned on Google Classroom.


RELIGION:
Each day have your child  continue to color the happy faces on the Lenten worksheet previously distributed when he/she completes an act of kindness.

Your child can write his/her acts of kindness on a strip of construction paper and staple them together to form a kindness bracelet.

Many thanks for your continued support!
You are truly my partners in education this year and  I am confident we will be successful! 

Mrs. Dolgow
