Working Together from Home

Hello! We made it to Thursday, nice work 😊

Since we are trying to navigate through these crazy times, what better way to build community in your own home by doing things together?! Today, let's focus on the positives of being together- even though we are very much apart. I think it's safe to say that the impact this is all creating makes us reach for any sense of community and connection. 

Before we left for spring break, the Pine class was working a lot on family and what each of our families look like. We talked about how some have moms and dads, some just have dads, and other families may include grandparents, aunts and uncles. There are so many ways in which we can be a part of a family! The Pine room is its own kind of family. We have a wide range of abilities, ages, and personalities that keep our classroom the fun loving place it truly is. 

How can you build more community in your own home? Maybe it can be as simple as working together on a project, or eating dinner together every night. There is no right way to be a family, but I think in these times its especially important to remember you always have your family- including your school family. 

We, as teachers, have a LOT of love to give. We wish so desperately that we could be sitting in the classroom together creating, laughing, and learning today. 

Stay well & with all of the love,

the Pine teaching team

Please enjoy this video of Ms. Kim and her grandbaby, JP! They worked together to build and create something- I wonder if you can do that today too?
