Hi Families,

I am so proud of these students. They are incredibly flexible and resilient, and they are already getting used to this unusual way of being in school!  They are rock stars!

This week, we spent a lot of time getting to know each other, learning how to hand in work, how to use the classroom library, how to take mask breaks, etc.  We've got our notebooks ready to go, our folders labeled, our book boxes and milk crates labeled. and we are ready to roll up our sleeves and get into academics next week.  I think they are ready for actual learning -- in fact, they are asking for it!

One of the highlights this week was getting to make rockets with Mr. Bouchard. This was a wonderful STEM activity and a good way to get outside. Be sure to ask  your kids about this -- they should be able to tell  you how they made them and how far they went!

I am working on figuring out a way to create a virtual bulletin board so that you can see all of the beautiful artwork and wonderful writing we are doing here at school. I will keep you posted!

That's all for this week. Enjoy your weekend!
