It was a challenging spring quarter, but we did it! We are grateful for your efforts in helping your children to stay engaged and supporting their learning during the past months. As we look to summer, we don't expect you to continue kindergarten at home, but we do want to provide you with resources, should your family want to use them. All of the resource pages on this site will remain open throughout the summer. Please continue to read with your child every day!
Words to Practice
We would have given your child these documents at school. They are primarily for reading, but having your child copy the words will also help him/her to learn them.

Songs and Poems
One of the best methods for retaining language is through poetry and music. The songs document below has many of the songs the children learned in class, and a few more! We are also sending a book of poems that the children may be less familiar with, but may want to read.
