Next, have your child write about what they did with me. I can’t wait to read about our adventures! We will also share them on our 5/19 Zoom meeting!

ZOOM MEETINGS
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 -11:30. 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!
JOKE OF THE DAY:
First graders (and Mrs. Cincilla) just love funny jokes and riddles! Give this one a try:
Question: What did the little corn say to the mama corn?

Grant me the strength
to focus this week,
to be mindful and present,
to serve with excellence,
to be a force of love.
