THE BETH AM ECC VIRTUAL PLAYROOM
A Note from Denise and Tammy
Dear Parents,

We hope this email finds you well. Our teachers are working diligently preparing daily activities for our students to enjoy at home. A daily newsletter will be emailed each afternoon and contain activities and videos for you to implement and share with your children on the following day. Although the newsletter is organized by age group, you are most welcome to enjoy videos and activities from the other teachers as well.

To start off we are sending you a suggested daily schedule that you may adapt to your own family's needs. These schedules are based on the schedule that the children follow at school. Additionally each age group has included a couple of activities and/or videos that you may enjoy doing with your children. Some activities may require basic art supplies such as paper, markers, crayons, pencils, scissors, glue, playdough, etc.

As we progress through this time, you can look forward to more videos by our teachers, shared experiences with Rabbi Earne and classes from some of our specialty teachers!


The following is a helpful article about How to Talk to Your Children About Coronavirus .

In an effort to keep our community connected, we encourage you to send us photos of your children engaging in some of these activities or other successful ideas. We will post submissions on Facebook and Instagram for the children to enjoy seeing each other.

We value your input and welcome feedback regarding this newsletter communication.

Please keep safe and healthy and we look forward to seeing all of the children's smiling faces soon!

Warm regards,
Denise and Tammy
