Hello First Grade Families!
Looking forward to starting our second full week! Last week went great.
The kids seem to enjoy our classroom routines and daily schedule so far. Wearing masks and keeping ourselves apart has not crushed our classroom community spirit! :)
* If you have a chance could you talk with your child, about how his/her mask wearing is going? There are some types of masks that do not stay in place while moving and playing.
Curtain Project Update:
For those of you who reached out to help; I forwarded your name on to Birdie Holley. She got back to me as well last week and had also found others who were willing to either fund or find resources for this project. Let me know if you have not heard anything yet and I will let her know.
