Special weekly update - First quarantine edition! (4/3/20)

It's been an odd couple of weeks here in kindergarten.  Due to the current shelter-in-place recommendations, we have moved to distance learning from home.  It's taking some getting used to, but we're rising to the challenge!  Here's what our new morning meetings look like:

Since we haven't been at school together for a couple weeks, we don't have a lot of photos from class to share, but our class bear, Q Bear, has been busy at home!  So without further ado, here are photos from Q Bear's quarantine weeks at home:

Q Bear took a much needed bath.
