March 20th

Yesterday was the vernal equinox, bringing us the earliest spring in over 100 years. Hopefully that means sunnier days soon ahead. (Although, aren't we getting some snow Monday into Tuesday?!)

I hope you've all been faring well during your first week of at home learning. I have been pleased to see activity from about 10-11 of the kids through Google Classroom, Google Docs, Flipgrid, or a combination of those platforms. I am hoping they're squeezing in some life skills (home skills) learning, creative time, exercise, fun, and socialization time in addition to light learning. I know a lot of kids have been keeping up with reading, which is awesome. I have seen reports from Freckle that kids are getting onto that, too. Thank you to all of you for all you're doing to help keep things going.
