Snow Day Challenge!

Yesterday we sent home a Snow Day Challenge to our kindergartners because the weather forecast did not look good for today and we have had a lot of time off and we were hoping to have our students be engaged in academics at least part of the day! 
Snow Days- March 2018

Dear Parents-

With yet another potential snow day looming Mrs. Parnell and Mrs. Kearney were thinking that our kindergarten friends might miss working with us as much as we miss reading and writing with them!  With that in mind, we have put together a snow day challenge. If it does not snow, please feel free to try the challenge anyway if you would like and earn a prize! Of course we also encourage everyone to get outside and enjoy playing in the snow, if it is safe to do so!  

If your child does participate in the school work challenge or plays in the snow please try to email me pictures of them working on their school work on the snow day, and/or playing in the snow. I hope to create a blog post about all our hard working students who have missed a learning day at school, but are continuing to learn at home and I’d like to try to tweet about all their hard work!  I will check my email a few times throughout the morning and early afternoon and then create the blog post and tweet!
