Apr 3rd Spirit Day and Next Week

Today’s activity is  Enjoy the Fresh Air Day:   Share a picture of your child enjoying the fresh air or do something to show our planet you care! Ex. Make a bird feeder, plant a baby tree, or plant a seed.”  We look forward to seeing all of the pictures of your activity.

Next Week is “Spring break.”  It will be spent at home, but the 1st grade team will not be sharing a daily schedule of work for you at this time.  We will be spending time with our families and hope to work collaboratively to meet the new “distance learning” guidelines with our updated state guidelines.  All families are welcome to use the information we have already provided to continue working with their children at home, or if they so choose, take the week off and relax!

Today was supposed to be our field trip to the Hands On Museum, so we have included a link from the state of Michigan that will allow you to take virtual field trips:

Pure Michigan offers stay-home virtual travel, from museum tours to film festival live streams

Other field trips include:

Stay safe! We miss you!

Apr 2nd GoNoodle

GoNoodle is a exercise website that teachers use for indoor recess days. Thankfully it is sunny today, but for the days it’s not I have included the parent instructions on how to get on if you want/need to. I like the “Blazer Fresh” page the best because they can also be educational with their songs and dances.

Please make a card and or write a letter to a senior citizen at The Henry Ford Village. The Program Manager and they would love to receive cards from boys and girls. Great chance to practice letter writing—they can be written to any person there and can be addressed as:
