Hello families and students. I wanted to reach out and see how everyone is doing. I have heard from a couple parents, so I hope my e-mail reached you all. We are in our second week now of this very different situation, but we are all in this together and I will be happy to help out. Hopefully your children have had the chance to break into the colored pocket folders that were sent home.
We are supposed to get snow today so kids enjoy that weather.One activity that may be fun is making puffy paint that kids can write in the snow with. The link is here: https://www.midgetmomma.com/sidewalk-paint/
Please be safe and keep learning. Best wishes!!!!!!

Good morning !! So snow is blanketing the ground once again. I hope everyone can enjoy it before the warm weather comes. Today, look at the positives around you and know there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Our New Lebanon family is a very special one.
Remember to read, read, read! The most authentic way to practice your spelling and grammar is to write. Keep a daily diary or journal. Write a letter to loved ones and friends. Fill up an entire sheet of paper with all the snap words you know. Feel free to write me a message and I will message back. Have a great day, be safe and healthy!!!!!!
