This year’s First Week of School is unlike any other.
With the virus still out of control and everyone unsure of what is the right thing to do, we have modified our curriculum to include safety, knowledge and fun. All of the activities can be done from your own home with few resources. They can be used with all elementary age children.
Started off by talking about viruses and the importance of Masks. We used these cute stories or you can make up your own to fit your school circumstances.
