By now I am sure you all are aware of the Governors call for school closure for the rest of the year. When I heard this news I truly got upset. Who knew that the last time we were in class would be our last day. I have said this before, but I truly love my job, I love these kids, and just like everybody else I am trying to adjust to this new normal. Our year was cut way too short and this group of kids were such a pleasure to have.

Friday April 3, 2020

Hello Friday and goodbye to E-Learning for an entire week! Please take this time to relax  as much as possible! Being home is a blessing in disguise, especially with my little one, but I am missing the kids terribly! Times like this makes me realize that I truly love what I do, and that is largely because I love all of my kids in my classroom. Unfortunately sometimes we all take that for granted, however I know that this too shall pass.

Todays assignment is to pick one scavenger hunt to complete. Good luck! Happy Easter!

Love and miss you all!

Mrs. Schau
