VirtUUal RE March 29, 2020
Dear Parents,
I hope you are hanging in there this week and that you and your family are finding a new “norm”. If you’re not already connected to our Children and Youth Facebook page, please do! You’ll find suggestions on things to do at home and other ideas shared there. Of course, if you have something your family is doing that you’d like to share, I’d love to see it!
This week’s VirtUUal RE session is on the Wisdom of Simplicity. Click here to watch the video. During this video, feel free to pause when suggested, or whenever you need to, and come back to it. For the activities I mention, here are the links:
