We made it!! Wooohooo! I can't thank you enough for your love and support this year, especially the last several months. In 16 years of teaching, I never imagined ending a school year like this! I have very mixed emotions and I am sure your family does too!

On Thursday we officially GRADUATE from JrK! Don't forget that the time of "graduation" is 5:30.

  • Read Aloud / Video - "I Wish You More" - I love this book. I love its message at the end. And I love your children and will miss them!

  • Draw a Ladybug challenge: Follow the video directions to learn how to draw a ladybug! You can use the paper I attached or any plain paper you have! If you want to share them on FlipGrid one last time, I'd love to see!

  • Math - Your child can continue to complete lessons on Happy Numbers or explore some of the math features of Starfall! Don't forget we have access to these sites until the end of June if you want to continue working on them.


  • Religion - Our new chapter is all about how God made animals. Listen to the song "If I were a Butterfly." We are going to try to sing this song at our Zoom JrK Graduation on the 21st.

At this point in the year, if we were at school, we would be doing a lot of fun activities to wind down. Bubbles, sidewalk chalk and playground time are some of our favorites! If your child is struggling with work, do the best that you can and move on. We are so close! We have three days of learning this week. On Thursday we officially GRADUATE from JrK! Don't forget that the time of "graduation" is 5:30.


  • Morning Meeting - I will be on FlipGrid for morning meeting tomorrow!


  • Read Aloud / Video - Listen to the video about the life cycle of a ladybug.

At this point in the year, if we were at school, we would be doing a lot of fun activites to wind down. Bubbles, sidewalk chalk and playground time are some of our favorites! If your child is struggling with work, do the best that you can and move on. We are so close! We have three days of learning this week. On Thursday we officially GRADUATE from JrK! Don't forget that the time of "graduation" is 5:30.



  • Read Aloud - Our lessons this week will all revolve around the book "The Grouchy Ladybug" by Eric Carle. Listen to the read aloud story here then complete the activities.

Print the writing activity and help your child to write about what makes them "grouchy" like the ladybug in story. If they can't write the words themselves you can always write for them. Illustrate using details! Share with us on FlipGrid if you would like to!


  • Math - This may be a little bit challenging! I think they can do it though! One of our standards is retelling a story. There are two pages to print. If your child can't remember the order of the story "The Grouchy Ladybug" there are numbers to help them, which brings in math too! Have your child cut the pieces out and glue them in the correct order. Afterwards, they can practice retelling what happened in the story using the pictures.


  • Religion - Our new chapter is all about how God made animals. Listen to the song "If I were a Butterfly." We are going to try to sing this song at our Zoom JrK Graduation on the 21st.
