ZOOM MEETINGS
PLEASE NOTE CHANGE IN DAY! I will be sending out a Zoom meeting link for Wednesday, April 8th at 10:00. Both classes will be together (oh boy!) and Mrs. Baker is going to read a story, Benjamin’s Box and share Resurrection Eggs.
After we return from spring break, I will be scheduling regular Zoom meetings for every Tuesday beginning April 21 at 11:00. I will also be scheduling “office hours” every Friday beginning April 24 from 11:00 -12:00. All Zoom meetings are certainly optional on your part but I do look forward to seeing all my little friends. The Friday office hours are just for the kids to pop in and out and chat with me one-on-one or with a small group. It’s also a great time to ask me any questions about the assigned classwork. I’m happy to hear some reading too!
PICTURES
I love all the pictures! Please keep them coming!
MY HOURS
I am available for email communication ANYTIME!
