Welcome to learning at home! As we navigate these times of uncertainty together, my hope is to provide you and your family with flexible and meaningful learning opportunities. Please choose activities from the weekly menu or follow the weekly schedule in a way that works for you! The following activities are completely optional and most of them review key concepts your child has already learned at school.
*Friday, April 10 is Good Friday. Take the day off and spend time as a family. If you want to listen to an Easter story, check out this one called P’tit Loup fête Pâques. The main character goes on an Easter egg hunt!
