Wednesday April 29

New for the week of April 27 - we will be offering a "storytime" with the teachers. The Google Meet code to join a storytime with one of the teachers is storytime. Please note that there is no sign up genius for this, just join in whenever you can at the times listed below.

Storytimes are as follows:

Wednesday, April 29 10:00am with Mrs. Mask
Thursday, April 30 2:00pm with Mrs. Mask

If you plan to attend the storytime Google Meet, we ask that you please turn your microphone OFF as soon as you join the meet. We expect that there will be many Kindergarten friends who want to join and it can become very loud and distracting with so many friends all in the same Meet. Teachers will open the Google Meet 5 minutes prior to the story starting.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Kindergarten was very fun today.  All of our arrival centers were about Halloween.
