Our Learning Community
To Our Community
Before digging in, I want to take the opportunity to affirm that we owe ourselves and our families flexibility and grace during this time. Use the resources and ideas that are collected here as little or as much as you would like, and remember, that community is what we all will crave and require at this time. I hope this can provide some guidance but also a connection to each other, where we have come from and where we are headed.
In each of the tabs you will find a variety of activities and resources to guide the learning of your children. Daily Messages and Daily Scavenger Hunts will be added as they become available and will then be archived so that families can revisit and repeat some of their favorites.
I will communicate any updates or changes to the site via e-mail. As always, please send feedback if there is something that would make this experience more accessible and personal to you and your children!
Our community is strong and full of love and light.
With gratitude,
Ms. Leuzzi and Ms. Nowlan
