Good morning!

Please continue to work on the Home Learning packet with your child. (If you have not yet picked up your child’s Home Learning packet, you can call the office at 778-6076 and let them know when you are coming to pick it up. Please use Door A). 
You can follow the schedule that was included with the packet, if that works well for you. Please just do the best you can! If your child would like to complete any of the activities in their Home Links duo tang and/or the other Covid Home Learning packet that I had sent home previousl, they are most welcome to do so!

The calendar at https://www.starfall.com/h/ is something they really enjoy! Don't forget to check out some of the wonderful stories on https://storylineonline.net/.

The sight word games in the Home Links duo tang are a great way to learn their sight words!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I saw this apple yesterday when I was out walking in my back field …

I wonder what type of animal was eating it.

What type of animal do you think it was?

I think it was a very tiny animal. What do you think?

The animal did not seem to like to eat the peeling of the apple.

Do you eat the peeling?
