Zoom

Hello families,
In my recommended daily schedule from 11:30-12:00, I have suggested listening
to a Podcast, drawing, looking at books or practicing sight words.
Another suggestion and option for you would be to reach out to other families in K-3.
If your child shows interest in Zooming with one or more other students, you can set up
a Zoom conference with each other. It is a free, public meeting forum. 
In addition, I am meeting with many students privately via Zoom on a weekly basis. If your child is interested, please e-mail me. 
We can talk about anything at all ( no academics required.)
Please know how wonderful you all are doing. I am also open to any feedback that you have for me, as this is a new adventure for us all.
All my best,
Mrs. Mac.

                                       I'm so glad it's Spring once more
                                       I've heard it sung that 
                                       April showers always bring
                                       such pretty flowers.
                                       April is a month in Spring
                                       When the birds begin to sing.
