What Can I Do at Home!?

It was so wonderful to chat with most of the parents yesterday over the phone. I am so happy that everyone from our class is healthy and doing well at home. If we didn't get a chance to connect please feel free to email me so that we can! The teachers are busy learning how to use Google Classroom and Google Meets to support learning moving forward.

Moving Boats

Today we talked about the moving boats that we will be building next week.

Ask your child what they decided!  Here is a look at some of their material lists... Please send in the materials your child needs :)
