Week of January 18, 2021 Remote Learning

OUR FRIENDS LEARNING FROM HOME!

Great job everyone!

I hope everyone had fun learning remotely this past week.  Thank you so much for helping your little one keep up with PreK-3.  If you do not have the time, which is completely understandable, just send everything back with your child and we will be sure to catch them up.  I know this sudden switch to remote learning is difficult for everyone so no worries whatsoever.  

Valentine's Day: We will be celebrating Valentine's Day in PreK-3 on Friday, February 12th since the holiday falls on a Sunday this year.  We will be exchanging Valentine's Day Cards in school.  Please send in one card per child with only your own child's name on each as the from whom the card is and not the name for whom it is intended.  This will make distribution much easier as the children are only just beginning to recognize each other's names.  We have 7 children in our class.  The children can either make their own little cards or they may be purchased.  That is entirely up to you.  Please do not send in Valentines with food or candy as we have children with allergies in our school.  Your children may begin to bring in their cards whenever they are ready through our celebration day on the 12th.  This little homework idea is completely optional: you may want to take this opportunity to have your child write their first initial (or full name if they are able to) on each of their cards and then finish the rest of their name for him/her.

Calendar Corrections:  Please update your calendars.  Catholic Schools Week is now scheduled to begin on January 31st and our new projected PreK-3 Graduation date is June 11th.
