Virtual Bitmoji Classroom

A big part of our class is our Virtual Bitmoji Classroom. This is a series of interactive slides filled with links to activities, books, songs, letter and math skills! It will be updated weekly to coincide with skills we will be learning    ( which will be listed on the Newsletter). 

This is an excellent resource to use if your child is absent, or for extra practice with skills. But most importantly...it's fun!

Updates to this classroom will be send in a link to parents through SeeSaw, so that you or your child may access it through your phone, or your home PC through your email.

Here is a copy of the Prek Checklist. By the end of Prek, your child should know the skills listed below in preparation for Kindergarten. I will send a lot of fun activities along the way to help you make that happen . 

Here is a copy of the K5 sight words. Your child does not need to know these until the end of Kindergarten.  This is well over a year and a half from now, but I'm attaching it if you run out of things to work on, or if you want to get them ahead of the game.
