You can also upload them to the class file on treering.com, where you can still buy a yearbook if you haven't yet, and have it sent to your home.
Virtual Talent Show
*Siblings, families and teachers can join too!
*Remember to keep the lyrics of any music tame enough for Kindergarten ears
*Videos due by May 1st
We'll put them all together and we'll have something to remember forever. I can't wait to see your videos so get busy!

Due to state and county orders, all school playgrounds, parks, and other outdoor facilities (e.g. tennis courts, tracks, etc.) are closed until further notice. We need to ask people not to congregate at Grant School and to follow the orders. Thank you.
Mindfulness Sessions with Ozlem Extended through April and May!
Thanks to our generous PTA community, Ozlem will be able to offer her classes and personal sessions to Grant students through the rest of April and May. This is a great addition to any student's weekly routine during a stressful time.
Join our wonderful school mindfulness instructor, Ozlem, for a 15-minute mindfulness check-in. She will connect with our students 1:1 online, and practice mindfulness with some
simple movement. There is no cost. Here is the link to book a session!

What to Expect:
+ Fun and interactive activities for kids such as mindful movement,
breathing and more
+ 15 minutes of mindfulness and a restful break from the business of daily life
+ Best for all grades, siblings, and parents are welcome.
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our
thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment –
with openness and curiosity. It has a variety of research-backed
impacts, including a reduction in stress, and improvements in
emotional regulation, and focus. It is a great way to create a
positive daily routine.
