Pre-K 3 (B)

Welcome to

Mrs. Piel's Class!

Thank you for choosing St. Bernadette School as your child's first educational experience!  

Dear Parents, 

I hope you and your families are doing well! I will definitely miss those smiling faces for the next few weeks. To keep the children learning during this prolonged closure, I would like to provide you with some online resources. 

To begin, Scholastic has made its LEARN AT HOME website free for the next couple of weeks. They offer a wonderful book series. Last week in school, we talked about DINOSAURS and listened to Groovy Joe: Ice Cream & Dinosaurs.The children loved it!

I have also created an online class through Epic Books. Using Epic at home can help us stay connected along with Class Dojo. If you feel this is something you might be interested in, please accept the online invitation that will be sent in a separate email. I have assigned books and videos for this week. This week’s theme is numbers, colors, and shapes review. This is truly beneficial screen time (reading!) and can also be a valuable tool for parents as kids spend more time at home. If you have any trouble accessing the online assignment, please let me know. 

Additionally, to help families whose schools are closed in these difficult times, Age of Learning is working with our school to provide free home access to ABCmouse Early Learning Academy. By visiting the links below and entering your code, you will have free home access to these digital programs on computers, tablets, and smartphones during the period of closure.

Lastly, I would love to see how your little ones are enjoying these sites. Feel free to post any videos, pictures or artwork on Class Dojo. Also, please see the Helpful Links tap for additional links and worksheets. I will be available to answer any questions or concerns you might have. I am here to help!
 
Stay well, 
Maria Piel
