Since we can't have our school Talent Show, we will have our own in Kindergarten! Please send me a video (no longer than 3 minutes) of a talent your child wants to share with the class. Videos can be emailed to me by May 7th. Thanks for helping us with this fun opportunity!

Homework is optional in Kindergarten, but I would strongly encourage and suggest you take some time each night to choose one of the learning resources below and work with your child for 15-20 minutes. Need login info? Just let me know, and I am happy to send it! Please remember to read with your child each night, and give them plenty of opportunities to read texts at their reading level. Keep practicing sight words too!
