Message from Ms. Elmore:
Good morning to all my friends, this is Ms. Elmore. I was in our class the other day and it was so empty and quiet that I missed all of your conversations with each other. I missed greeting each of you as you came to sign in for the day. I would love for you to write me a Hello Ms. Elmore note and sign it for me. If you and your family have time in your busy I would love a picture of you and your note.
Missing you guys,
Ms. E

Message from Ms. Davis:
Good morning! I wish we were together singing our morning meeting songs! I am missing your smiles, fist bumps, high fives, and hugs! I miss watching you play with your friends, learn new things , hearing you sing our learning songs, watching you dance, hearing your laugh, and covering you up at nap time. I hope you are doing your at-home learning activities with a grown up or big brother or sister. Remember it is important to keep learning while we are out of school. You need to keep getting your brain ready for kindergarten! Be a good listener and remember one of our classroom rules...”Always do your best!” Have a great day! Love-Ms.Davis
