Dear Kindergarten Families,

I appreciate your patience with this ever changing system. I would also like to say thank you for your comments on the new approach implemented last week. It is a delicate balance, but I am learning and listening as we go. You will see that we are keeping a similar format we use last week, but I am providing more learning opportunities/assignments for each content area. Do as much as you want, but as little as you need! If you liked focusing on one content area a day and doing one assignment, stick with it. If you need more go for it! Again, I will one be looking for three assignments to be turned in. If possible, I would like these assignments by Tuesday, April 21, 2020, but will take them at your earliest convenience. Thank you again for your patience and flexibility as we continue to work through this new territory!
