Kindergarten Weekly Learning Plan
April 27th - May 1st
Dear Kindergarten Families,
Welcome to Week 4 of at Home Learning!
This week, we are going to soft launch our Google Classroom. Google Classroom provides a central hub for students to access lessons, upload assignments and receive teacher feedback. This will let students and families have access to all Kindergarten learning and communication from the same place.
We encourage families to explore Google Classroom and attempt to upload their assignments on the platform. However, if needed, we will be accepting student work through emails this week as we make this transition.
Thank you for your continued patience and support as we navigate how to best support our learners.
Please see the following video for navigating Google Classroom:
