Now you have materials that you can work through at home at your own pace. Letter of the Week: J Reinforce the sound it makes and words that begin with J.

We are busy getting packets ready for both preschool classes.  We will have them available for pickup in the DeSales parking lot on Wednesday, May 6 from 12-1 pm .  Just drive up and we will hand them to you.  You won't even have to get out of your car!  If you are unable to pick up at this time we can make other arrangements for you.  Thank you so much!

We were very saddened to hear the news that we will not be back in school this academic year.  We want to take this time to thank all of you for working with us and most of all working with your children at home.  We are going to continue to provide materials and support for you.  We will be making packets this week that will carry you through June.  We will find out Monday how and when we will distribute those packets, so please continue to check in on the blog daily for that information! Our first Zoom meeting for the Tues/Thurs class will be Thursday May, 7 at 1 pm.   You will receive an email with the login information.  We plan to Zoom with this class every other week.   We will start our meeting with the following poem.  Please practice with your child prior to the meeting.   One, two, three, I love Jesus And Jesus loves me. Our zoom meetings will focus on color words.  The first color is blue.  Please ...

We have a Zoom Meeting for the Mon/Wed/Fri class today at 1 pm.  If you did not receive the email with the meeting information, please email me ASAP gaskilll@desalescatholicschool.org. Can't wait to see the kids!
