I am blown away by your support and understanding during this unexpected time. Looking back on this first year of teaching, I am just so thankful that you have given me the opportunity to work with your family and have been so encouraging through it all. Every note of thanks, thoughtful gift, and kind words that you have shared with me have meant the world to me! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for partnering with me on your child's educational journey.  * I went to clean out our classroom and packed all student belongings. Please make sure to go to school and pick up their belongings on our assigned date, as artwork and art portfolios are included in their personal belongings.

Week 4- Staying Strong

Hello 1C families, Here we go...week 4! Thank you so much for your continued support throughout this journey. I was saddened by the news that we will not be going back this school year. This was a year of many firsts' (pun intended). I cannot help but reflect on the past year. One word that keeps coming to mind is, blessed. I feel very blessed and thankful for all of our 1C students and families. You all have made my first year as a teacher and at Old Bonhomme so amazingly wonderful and memorable! This is week 4 of eLearning. As mentioned please let me know if you have any questions. I will be posting another Flipgrid assignment.

Hello 1C friends and families,  You are doing awesome! Keep it up 1C! Here are the week 2 lesson plans. Remember to take this one day at a time and keep working hard. Please make sure to check out the different tabs that have been added to our blog. I added a read-aloud section, which gives students a book to listen to every day and asks them to think about their reading and talk about the story with a family member or complete a reading response sheet.  I have also added a counseling tab. Here you can find a link to our OB counselors' page and the activities that they have planned for the week.   Another new tab is the optional learning tab. This has some optional activities that you may ask your kiddos to do.  I have also added a Flipgrid for us to get to see one another and stay connected! The directions for how to use this awesome interactive resource is under the "additional resources" tab. I can't wait to see my 1C firsties!
