Look for the Helpers....


Today is Fred Roger's birthday, and it was my intention for all of our first graders to learn about kindness while celebrating the life of this inspirational man...


However, our current pandemic has rendered that impossible.  So, I have this for you...





Children have questions... and as a parent, it's sometimes hard to figure out age appropriate ways of tackling what's happening in our world right now.   


I'd like to share with you that Scholastic News has resources for families to use!  Just click here to access their kid friendly resources.  

Also, your child has a subscription to Scholastic News.  While I can't get you their hard copy magazine, I can encourage you to use their online resources and read the digital copy.  Use the link on the right-hand sidebar that says "Scholastic News" and use the password: heron12
