Mrs. Brown will be at the school today from 12-4 in case there are items to be picked up.  There will be a couple of activities for Kindergarten to commemorate Remembrance Day learning and reflection. Other read alouds and activities will continue to be posted in the Document portion of my teacher page.  Remember... Home is not school, nor is it expected that it would be the same.  Do your best to practice Number formation, number sense/ relationships, subitizing, Letters (4-6 each day), sight word practice and some attempts at writing through pictures and some letters they know. Work to your child's attention and interest level, Using Toys as counters and props is a great way to learn through play! Keep the Joy!    Mrs. Craig
