Change to KC’s Virtual Learning Schedule!

I am excited that we are now planning to meet LIVE every morning from 8:15-9:15 the week of November 30th-December 4th!  The Google Meet link will be posted on Seesaw, along with the lesson plans for the week.  Your QR Code to join Seesaw will be in the envelope coming home today.  Please join by Monday, November 23rd.  It will be fun for the KC kids to continue our morning routine through these live meetings.  I plan to do a combination of calendar time, Superkids, Math, GoNoodles, stories……We’ll have a lot of fun seeing each other! Anything on the lesson plans that we don’t do in our live meetings can be done at a time that works best for your family.  

As I said, you can join each daily meeting by going to Seesaw. Once you’re in Seesaw, look for the Google Meet link in the Activities.  If your child is using an ipad, please install the Google Meet app before our first lesson Monday, November 30th. Once you have your child set up each day on Google Meet and they have their supplies and papers (coming home today) handy, please feel free to continue with your work or daily routine.  There is no need to sit with them during this time.  In fact, it is better for your child to attend class “on their own” the same way they would when they are at school. Of course, if there is a glitch they can come and get you for help.   

As with anything new, there will likely be adjustments that need to be made along the way.  Thank you for your patience as we do our best to continue your child’s learning experience!  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I am always happy to help!    Mrs. Hanna
