Learning in Kindergarten


Dear Kindergarten Families,

Thank you for supporting your child with their learning during this difficult time. We understand that many families are currently busy making arrangements for their children and navigating how to proceed in the days going forward. 

We wanted to support learning at home this week by giving you ideas of what to do with your child at home to progress their learning. We understand that supporting your child at home will be difficult for some families, and ask that you do your best with the resources you have. Please know that at this time, these ideas are optional as we wait for direction as to what online learning may look like going forward. 

We are all in this together. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns, and we will work to support you in any way that we can.

Kind regards,

Ms. Sticksl, Ms. Dixon and Ms. Sirup
