Hello, Families!
Our theme for the next two weeks is Spring has Sprung. This will
encompass Farm Animals, Life on a Farm and Baby Animals. As we mentioned
before, we will be offering up ideas that would closely match our schedule
at school. You of course, can use them in any order that works for you.
We will try to touch on 4 or 5 basic areas of our day,
using our curriculum themes. We will try and include a video each week
that will relate to our theme, movement/songs, books and a craft. We
will also send you our “snack time” blessing that you can use when serving
snack at home.
Most of all, we are missing each and everyone of our students
everyday. This is heartbreaking for us but knowing that hopefully everyone is
staying healthy and safe is giving us a peace of mind. We know you all
are already doing this, but reading to your child everyday, playing with them
and just hugging and loving on them is what they need the most right now.
Please give them a couple of hugs from Ms. Joerres too!! Keeping you all in my
prayers and hearts.
Please know these are just a recommendation of some fun
activities to keep your kiddos engaged!
