Hello Spring!

Change is stressful for everyone, especially children.  Having a routine in place for learning at home will bring a sense of security, comfort, and consistency to a child’s life.  Parents, you are doing a great job. I love seeing photos of our students completing their weekly focus packets.  These packets include an investigation question about our unit of study, opportunities to learn through play, fine motor skill activities, and cognitive skills.

I was glad to hear that everyone enjoyed Easter and our Easter Video.  The video premiered the Easter Bunny and we counted his eggs. This was a big hit with our students.  Try it with yours!

Last week we started our new study about reduce, reuse, and recycle.  This study offers opportunities for our children to explore a topic that not only interests them but allows them to gather information, become more aware of the world around them, and solve problems.  In a video, I asked our students to create their own recycling center at home. During this study we will enjoy sorting and reusing the trash collected.  

The boys and girls are also able to watch lessons through videos I have put together.  These videos teach things like: the letter and number of the week, math, and Handwriting Without Tears.  They enjoy getting to see and hear their Teacher.
