Welcome to Mrs. Hanchett's Digital Kindergarten!

Welcome to our LAST week of distance learning! Some of you have already received your Flat Mrs. Hanchett Hug! I am SO excited to see where you go with me! Please send me pictures of our adventures together on Remind. The Flat Mrs. Hanchett idea comes from the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. Check out the link below to watch the original story, Flat Stanley. 

The My Big List of Kindergarten Goals  below will be your weekly source for assignments! It is a weekly schedule for our classroom, so check back each week as it is updated. It can be completed at your own pace weekly, but the intention is to complete one row of activities daily.
