Dear Parents,

Thank you for all that you are doing to make sure your children are participating in school work while you are juggling other children, your jobs, and adjusting to being at home. To all of you who are essential employees and are going out into the community to serve, my heartfelt gratitude. To those who are struggling because you have been laid off, or can't do your free lance work, my heartfelt regret. To all of you, know that I will do whatever I can to help. Please reach out, even if you just need an adult conversation!

In the block that we just finished, I continued to develop the students' understanding of the basic elements of division and fractions. Going forward, they will get a weekly packet of math practice assignments, however, I won't be presenting any new math concepts. Since we will not have a block for our Spring Play, I have created a block on Scandinavian stories, which is a lead up to the Norse Myths. I have moved that block to the beginning of the next school year and we will finish the year with our second block of Human and Animal.

While we are on Spring Break next week, I will be learning some new ways to use Classroom and drawing a lot of pictures to get ready for the Scandinavian story block. We have not yet created anything on the main lesson paper, so I think your child should have enough paper to complete the pages that are coming up. If you start to run low on paper, please give me a heads up.

Thank you for all that you are doing - I miss your children all so much! Take care, stay well, and know that you are loved!
