   I hope you are all doing well during this scary, and very difficult time. As your childs teacher we are doing our very best as a school and community to ensure that our students are receiving the proper remote learning opportunities. We will be posting daily videos, read alouds, educational activities, and other resources on our Class Dojo page (www.classdojo.com).  You can download this app as well.  Please make sure you have access to the site either on your laptop, tablet, or home desktop in order for your child to participate in their online learning. I have sent invites to all parents through the Class Dojo website, so please check your emails. A daily check-in email will be sent each morning Monday-Friday which needs to be filled out by a parent. Please remember to have your child write their names everyday.  It is an important part of our daily routine and we want them to continue to practice. Some of them have begun to write their last names as well, please continue this with them.Continue to utilize the links and resources below to help them continue to learn and grow.
     Thank you for your patience, and if you have any other questions feel free to email me           SFXUPK3@gmail.com

Enjoy the time home with your families and please keep safe.  Big hugs to the children for me!

At this time school is closed March 16th to April 30th.  Below please find resources for your child to continue their early childhood education at home.  Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Guidance for Families of Young Children During School Closures for COVID-19 

To keep children connected and able to participate in remote learning, the DOE is lending 300,000 internet-enabled iPads to students. Priority will be given to children most in need. All devices are granted on a temporary basis and will later need to be returned. There is a limit of one device per child. 
Families that wish to request a device should fill out this

Additionally, your families may be eligible to receive a free at-home wi-fi service to support their child’s remote learning. Comcast is now offering free internet service for low-income families for 60 days for new qualifying customers. Families can visit https://www.internetessentials.com/ for more information. For your families with older children, households with K-12 students can get free Spectrum Wifi for 60 days (including free installation for new customers).
