Hello From Home!

Hello Wonderful 2A Families!

We cannot express again how much we miss all of our wonderful students and families. We hope during this time you are safe with your families, and possibly working on some new crafts and hobbies!


 I for one, am catching up on my large stack of books, watching Disney Princess movies, and working on some fashion styling/drawing/stitching!


My cat Abbie doesn’t think I’m funny 😒


My son Elias and I have taken a few walks last week to get fresh air!


You have most likely by now received the 2nd Grade Packets. If you have somehow missed it, you may locate the online version of the packet HERE.

I urge you to consistently check in with updates on the Great Hearts website, as the FAQ will have the most recent updates.

Mr. Kiehne and myself will be calling families starting today throughout the week to answer questions about the packet that you might have, as well as to say hello to you and the kiddos!

We are currently working on setting up Zoom meetings so that we have the opportunity to also see students on webcam! The app free, and easy to set up on your phone, iPad or laptop! We teachers are using it almost daily to communicate with one another and for meetings.

We cannot wait to touch base with you all! Have a wonderful week and stay safe. 💜

Love,

Mrs. Guevara and Mr. Kiehne
