If we were at school today we would be having an easier day filled with fun activities! Since yesterday was the first day of spring we would continue our celebration by getting outside and making a flower craft! I had this craft in mind, feel free to create if you have all the supplies at home 🙂

Our focus for science this month is Outer Space. I found this fun space themed matching game the kids could play! Along with a fun video about space 🙂

Space Matching Activity!

Our monthly focus for math is measurement. We talked about length and height. Some things are tall and some things are short. Some things are big and some things are small. Some things are long and short! Here are some big and small sheets, along with a quick clip about measurement!

Big and Small Activities

To help our families during the next month, ABCmouse has offered schools free home access. This is a program that reinforces the skills taught in the classroom and is enjoyable for students.

If we were in school today we would celebrate the first day of spring. Today you could do that as a family by singing and dancing to these songs, reading and listening to this fun story, and doing an activity! Missing everyone so much! 🙂

Spring Activity

We realize the abrupt closure of the schools has caused a lot of questions for parents. We have compiled information that we know so far in a list of frequently asked questions and will keep updating this site.

FAQ’s and Answers

The students have multiple interactions a week with our news-2-you articles as a form of social studies academics. This was recently added and can be used for work at home!
