Creating a Caring Community of Learners

There is no school-year beginning like the  beginning of Kindergarten and this year more so than ever. For many children, the first day of kindergarten may be their first day of school ever. Social and emotional development is an important focus in our classroom. The daunting task this year was adapting lessons plans and curriculum for our virtual classroom, while also building community with children from two different schools that I had not met in person.

A child’s education is a partnership between home and school. It is vital for parents to be a part of the virtual learning experience. Working together with families, we can bring to life all the wonder and joy that is experiential learning in kindergarten.
