First of all, I hope you are all healthy and happy and that you've been able to spend lots of cozy time with the people (and pets) in your home. If anything, I think we've all really begun to appreciate the importance of family during this rather tricky and confusing time while we work together as a community to keep everyone safe and healthy.
As your parents may know already, some websites have been created to help with online learning for the next two weeks while next steps are in development. While websites can be a great tool for learning, we all encourage you to spend time outside, read your favourite books, play board games with siblings and try new things at home like baking, building and crafting with your siblings and parents -- these are all very important activities that also provide so much learning. If you've been enjoying doing some of those things (and more), well done! I'd LOVE to hear about what you've been up to.
Over the next two weeks, your teachers will be having meetings online to pull together and try to figure out how to best support you and your learning if we are not able to return to school for a longer period of time than expected.

My Favorite Artists - I Miss You💜
These are the faces I miss so much! My fabulous artists, with their beautiful self-portraits:
Hello! I've been busy playing games with my family and my mom and dad have started to do some home school activities. I'm looking forward to going back to school and seeing you and my friends! - Caleb
ReplyDeleteHi Caleb! I've missed you a lot, especially since I haven't seen you since before you left for your trip. I hope you had a really good time. I'm sure you've been doing lots at home as I know how much you like to learn - good for you! I can't wait to see everyone in person again, too!
DeleteLove, Mme
My brother Marcus and I have been playing "school". I'm the teacher, my brother is the student. I give him math questions. From Clara
ReplyDeleteHi Clara! That sounds amazing! I have no doubt you'd make an excellent teacher and I'm sure Marcus is learning a lot from you. Tell me about some of your lessons! Do you do number talks with him? You could teach me a lot, too! I miss you and your wonderful sense of humour and I glad you're finding new ways to pass the time.
DeleteLove, Mme
Post your comments here! Tell me how you're doing and what you've been up to!
ReplyDeleteHi Trinity has been keeping busy with grandparents as we both work in healthcare! Trying to keep things moving with some minor school work and fun! Just had her birthday on Sunday!! Unfortunately our trip to Aruba was cancelled but we are all safe and healthy! She misses all her classmates and sends them all virtual hugs as well as one to you Madame!! Farwell Family ��
ReplyDeleteHI Trinity and Farwell Family! Thank you to both of you for continuing to work hard in healthcare. Our community is so grateful for you. I’m sorry to hear about the trip being cancelled. We also cancelled a trip and it was very hard but definitely the best choice we could make. Very glad to hear you’re all safe and healthy. I miss Trinity and her beautiful love for animals - and hearing about her guinea pigs each day! I hope they are well, Trinity and it sounds like you’ve been having fun with your grandparents �� Thank you for the virtual hugs - I think we all need it. Take care of each other.
ReplyDeleteLove, Mme

ReplyDeleteHi! This is Lincoln. I'm having a very wonderful break. I'm enjoying reading lots and playing video games. And I've been playing lots of Prodigy too!
ReplyDeleteHi Lincoln!
DeleteI've missed you a lot! I'm glad to hear you've had a wonderful break - it sounds like you've found good ways to pass the time, too! Are you still using your step counter? If so, what's your step record so far? I've been trying to get out at least a couple of times a day for walks. I'm glad to hear you've been playing prodigy, too. Take care and you will hear from me again soon!
Love, Mme
Hi Mme! One day I had 20,000 steps! That's my record so far, but I usually get at least 15,000 steps in a day because I take my dog for lots of walks. Miss you!
DeleteWow! That is a lot of steps, good for you! I find that walking my dog is such a good way to relax my mind and feel better in my body, too! I miss you, too! Keep steppin' and smilin'!
