Kinder Learning Resource

Dear Parents,

As we work through our school closure, we want to provide you with a list of grade-level appropriate resources for you to access with your child.  We have compiled a list of resources. As a reminder, your child will not be returning any of this work to his/her teacher.  Nothing on this list is mandatory, rather it is a compilation of activities to keep kids reading, thinking, and thriving, and active.
