Lectura y Ciencias

Dear families,

We had smooth transition into our new phase of distance learning. Students responded so well and I am so proud of all their work. I am sending a schedule so students can create a plan for the week. Each family can organize their time in a way that works best for them. I will be available to connect with students at our regular Spanish times during the week. Feel free to reach out should you have any questions.

Families all over the world are adjusting to the current situation. Spending time together, having conversations, playing games, exercising, learning a new skill, cooking, reading and just holding each other close are probably the best things we can do right now. During our book club meeting this week, we discussed how the main character of our story , Buck, is learning how to survive in a completely different environment, a harsh inhospitable environment. He is discovering an inner strength he didn’t know he possessed, he is observing the signs, learning about his surroundings and adapting to a new way of life.
