Challenge for the day
Your challenge for today is to support your teachers. They miss you, and are just heartbroken that they can't be with you for at least 2 more weeks.
Write your teacher a letter and have your parent email it to them. Their email is their first initial last name @ oakdale.org. Their email addresses can also be found on the Oakdale website (www.oakdale.org).
If you are in prek or kindergarden and don't feel like you can write a letter, draw your teacher a picture. Have your parents take a picture of it and email it to your teacher.
If you are in middle school, you can write to all of your teachers or just pick one.
I know you are missing your teachers, too, so let them know that!
**EXTRA CHALLENGE: Use the vocabulary word of the day in your letter!
