Hi Families,

This week, Burlington started "remote learning".  All activities are optional to complete.  Since we were about 3 weeks in to our Transportation Unit when left school, I thought it would be best to continue with the stories and small group activities we would've done if we were at school.  Here's what we have planned for the week. 

Monday- Reading How Many Beeps
                Rainbow writing and finding objects with the letter E

Tuesday- Reading Little Blue Truck Leads the Way
               Matching letters and sounds on trucks

Wednesday- Reading Dragon In A Wagon
                     Graphing vehicles by number of wheels

Thursday- Reading The Little Engine That Could
                  Counting and matching numbers on a train

Friday- PRESCHOOL PARADE!  Come bring your kids and drive by the
             preschool at 10am on Friday and wave to your preschool teachers! 
             Please remember that everyone must stay INSIDE their cars.  Staff
             will be spaced out on the sidewalk to wave hello.

Hi Families,

Day 1 of our optional online learning is up and running on YouTube, just search for conroybpsk12.  Our story of the day is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and our academic activity is from our Handwriting Without Tears curriculum-“rainbow writing” with the letter F.  If you want your child to follow along with the activity, you’ll need a piece of paper with a dot on the top left corner and rainbow colored crayons.  Have fun, and if you have any feedback I’d be happy to hear it!
