Greetings Room 103 Families,
Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. Kerr would like to stay in touch with you during our
time away from school. You should have received an email from Burlington
Public Schools last night with an update. The message conveyed that while
we are away from school, there will be no required assignments but that
the School Department will share some activities that students can do.
Daily reading is encouraged.

To support the efforts of the District, we will also share some ideas and
resources that are designed for our kindergartners. Again, these will be
optional resources available to you.

We know that children benefit from predictable routines and a lack of
routine and knowledge of what is happening may cause stress. Listening to
the news 24 hours a day can also cause stress. We recommend establishing
a daily routine such as the one listed at the end of this message and are
hoping that the forthcoming ideas will be welcome distractions!

We are organizing our resources and ideas and you should expect a message
posted to the blog by Tuesday morning. Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day. Our
students have enjoyed some fun with a leprechaun named Cian. We are hoping
Cian may visit students at their houses. (More details on this soon).

In the interim we would like to offer you this link to a social story that you
can print and read with your children. It can be found at
https://littlepuddins.ie/coronavirus-social-story if you would like additional
information about it. Thank you to Pine Glen speech and language pathologist,

Daily Schedule
Below you will find a suggested schedule that our colleague, Ms. Varrell shared. She
found it through NESCA (Neuropsychology and Education Services for Children and
Adolescents). Of course any schedule that you can keep to and that works for your family
is what is best - The message is that routine and predictability is what will help keep all
feeling safer.
