Hey Everyone, As we wrap up our blog posts for this week, we want to thank you for all of the support that you are providing your children in this journey. As we head into next week, which is spring break, please take that time to rest, relax, and recharge. When we return the following week, we will begin our Virtual Learning 2.0 Plan. As a district and school team, we have met to establish new plans and expectations as our safer at home mandate has been extended. We plan to make a video for parents to explain it! Thank you for your feedback on what we are trying to best help you. Please always feel free to let us know what is working or not working for your families. We’ve gotten feedback that we are sending too many resources and will scale back. Just a reminder that all is optional and use what is best for you :). Sorry if we have overwhelmed you. Do you have play time in your schedule? Here is a tool from Mrs. Steif: Play Time See below for a message from Ms. Duda. He

Mrs. Wolf sent a link to help explain Google Classroom to families: Google Classroom. Our classrooms are primarily using the blog and Google classroom as our ways to stay connected at this time. This week the 2nd grade team will be contacting you regarding your child and their progress based on your response to our previous survey.
