Please have your child watch me read aloud The Book With No Pictures with me today. Read alouds are great for your child to watch!

From Mrs. Kelley, our wonderful librarian:
Because we can't have the Scholastic Book Fair in the library this spring, we're going to host an online book fair instead! Starting on Monday, April 20, you can order books online. All orders will be shipped directly to your home and book orders of $25 or more ship for free! Our library will receive a percentage of all sales which we'll use to buy books for the library next year. This is a great opportunity to get books into the hands of your kids and raise money for our library--it's a win-win!
The link to the online book fair is https://www.scholastic.com/
The last day to order is May 3rd. Don't miss out on this chance to get affordable books for your children!
Please direct any questions to Mrs. Kelley at skelley@ladueschools.net.
Final Friday Thoughts:
KG Families,
Thank you for being patient with me as I figure out the best way to teach kindergarten virtually. It has been a fun, yet complicated and emotional adventure! In all honesty, it is also quite challenging with having three young children of my own. I wish I could zoom every day, all day, but it is simply not realistic. I am doing the best I can to connect with students and remember that the district is providing these lessons to meet the average kindergartener. It is very difficult to differentiate the learning in the virtual classroom. If you need additional activities or support, please let me know. I cannot help you unless you reach out. Thank you for your endless support and know I miss your child so much. This is a tough way to end such a beautiful year. I am thankful for technology that allows us to still stay connected the best we can.
Have a beautiful weekend!
Mrs. McGee
