Good morning! How are you all doing?  Parents you are all doing a fantastic job of teaching from home! I know how hard it is to be juggling work, teaching your children and managing all the other things that you have to do in the run of the day.  Great job to you for doing what you are doing!  Remember to not feel guilty if you don’t get things done and remember all the children are experiencing the same education right now.  No child will be further ahead or behind, they are all out of school and routine right now.  I know that I need this reminder a lot of days as I try to juggle all of my own children’s education and make sure I still do my job for your children 🙂 So please be easy on your self!

If you need anything, food, materials, counselling, anything at all please send me a private email and I can do my best to help you get what you need.

   • Tapping: kid, cap, cot, yet, fix, zap
   • C or K?: What letter makes the sound /k/?
     • If the /k/ sound is followed by a, o, u then we use c (cat, cot, cut)
     • If the /k/ sound is followed by e, I then we use k (kid, kit

We do these exercises each day before we start class.  Feel free to try them out at home!

I am so sorry everyone!! My videos are taking upwards of an hour and a half to upload the last few times…we have fibeop internet too.  I am going to start breaking them into small bits to see if that will help and also trying to get them done a day in advance to have them out earlier.

Please read through what is written on the blog and do some of those activities while you wait.  I also have something fun for you to do while you wait! One of the kindergarten teachers put together a picture collage of all the kindergarten teachers when they are little and a picture of us now.  Can you match the young child to the teacher?

Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! The weather was beautiful :). We certainly got out to enjoy the weather and sunshine.  Please remember that you only need to do 30 minutes of activities with your child each day.  If these ideas presented below don’t fit your family, choose some other activities such as: baking or playing outside, building with lego, reading books from home, write a book together or do some house chores!
