Hello Families!

Today was a PERFECT day of ZOOM!!!!!!!! Yay!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!! I am so so so so thankful! It was wonderful to hear and see all of the students and teach them!! Thank you for your patience and kindness this week!

Today we practiced the nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill. We acted it out with out puppets and drew a picture of Jack and Jill! We also talked about some of the vocabulary words; fetch (to go and get), pail (a bucket with a handle), and crown (the top of a head).

Hello Families!

This has been a great first week of remote learning! You all have made such a positive start to your child’s school year by helping them complete the activities and view my messages! Tomorrow and Monday there will be no school in observance of Labor Day! However, on Tuesday, please make time to go to Oakman School to pick up your child’s learning kit that I put together for them between 10:00 and 12:00.

In recognition of Labor Day, I have asked the children to draw and tell me what they dream of being when they are big! They can draw a picture of them as that occupation and say “When I get big I want to be a _____.”

I cannot wait to see what they draw and hear their little voices tell me what they want to be when they grow up! When my son was their age, he said he wanted to be a fire fighter! Now….he is achieving this dream!

Here is the video message from me!

Happy Labor Day!

Hello Families!

I hope you all are well and having a great week so far!

If you have not picked up a Chromebook, please let me know. The students will need a computer for Schoology. Let me know how I can help. 🙂

Today we are talking about feelings. Your child’s feelings are so important to me. As their teacher, I want them to always know they can safely share their thoughts and feelings with me and even with their friends they make in our classroom family.
