(You may need to refresh to see our Morning Greeting in the space above.)

Attendance: We would like for your grown-ups to email Jackie and I every day with your answer to the day’s joke or riddle.

Today’s attendance riddle is:

If you buy a rooster and you expect it to get 3 eggs each day, how many eggs will you have after one week?

Last Friday’s answer is pork chop!

We will have daily assignments posted here at 9am. You should be doing as much of the work as you can. Jackie and I will be available to answer questions through email every day during our “office hours” at 11am-12pm and 2:30pm-3:30pm.
If you are working with Katherine, do her assignments first. Also, we’ll put a time for each activity. Put on a timer for the time indicated for that subject. Once that timer dings, move on to the next work!
Remember to have body breaks! GoNoodle has great body breaks that are for a specific amount of time.

We’d love for you to share what you are up to! Let us know of any links/resources that you find interesting, and we’ll add it to our list of things! Also, email us pictures of what you’re up to, and a caption, and we’ll create a gallery of these pictures to post on Friday. (You’ll have to share the pictures before 8:30am on Friday for it to be included on the Friday gallery!)

We recognize that Distance Learning is new for everyone, and it can take some time getting used to. Please let us know if there is too much or too little work and if something is challenging for you. We want you all to be successful in Distance Learning, and we’re here to help!
