Dear Parents(Guardians)

This is Mr. Paling your child’s Power teacher. I know we are all facing tough times and we your teachers truly miss having your child in class. I have posted three Power lessons for your child’s enrichment during our time out of school. The enrichment lessons are designed toward helping your child during the crisis our country is currently facing. The first lesson focuses on the importance of handwashing to keep them safe from germs. The next two lessons were created by Kidhealth.org and they focus on helping your child deal with stress. I will continue to post a weekly lesson during the duration of our time out of school. I have also added other activities your child can participate in such as brain breaks, fitness activities, and some health and fitness video games. As I become more familiar with how to maintain this site I will continue to add new features. If your child would also like to email me I would be more than happy to respond to them even if it is just to say hi! My email address is rpaling@wareham.k12.ma.us.. Again, please let your child know I miss them and look forward to hearing from them or seeing them soon.

Sincerely,

Mr. Paling
