CCA NEWSLETTERS – MAY 4-8, 2020

Hello!  Because we are in this transition period going to school half-day, our normal newsletters will be changing.  Each teacher will be conducting lessons for 2.5 hours a day with your child.  There should be no need to do the Abeka Academy videos at home unless you are a family that is continuing the online learning for social distancing purposes.  For those returning to on-site learning, homework should only consist of items not completed at school such as reading, cursive, or assignments not finished in class.  Please email Mrs. Young if you have any questions.  God bless you!

Parents and caregivers - please refer to your online learning packets and private class pages on Facebook for this week's work activities and lessons.  God bless you!  Mrs. Young :)

Every week I will leave a copy of your students spelling words right here for easy access in-case they lost their hard copy that gets sent home at the beginning of the week. As we come into our classroom on Tuesday, please put your students supplies right on their desk and we will sort through it all. I will be sending home a class expectation letter and some "parent homework" for you as well this week. I pray each one of your families is blessed with Joy and Peace from our Lord.
