Hello everyone!

I hope you enjoyed a restful March Break and got spend lots of quality family time!

Our family has enjoyed the down time but it will soon wear off as we are used to being on the go!!

All our baby puppies have gone to their forever homes. Our family was extremely happy to see what a gift we have given others with their new puppies! I love that some of the families surprised their children and extended family. We kept one of the puppies and that is giving us lots to keep us busy! We now have 3 children and 3 dogs 😳 I like to live on the edge a bit, what can I say 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is an unusual time in our world where we are all asked to take a step back and self isolate. This is a very hard time for everyone involved and as unfortunate as it is, if we all do our part and stay home it will end quickly!

Until today it hasn’t sunk in that we won’t be back to school for a while and didn’t realize how much I would miss seeing all your children’s faces after the break!!

The Public Schools Branch has placed some items on their site for you to do with your child each day to keep them engaged in learning. Please make sure to keep it fun and light. I am going to post some links for you have for reference. Do some art, go for a drive, go for a walk, do a scavenger hunt in the house or neighborhood. Read some books together and practice printing and counting, do some tapping of words and play some Trick Word games!!

I will try to send a video a couple times a week on the blog so keep an eye out for posts!! Please feel free to send me pictures of things you are doing at home via email (kmaiken@edu.pe.ca)

I miss all of the children and all the ways they make me laugh each day!! Hope to see them soon 😊

Just let your child play, create and be imaginative!!
