Happy Wednesday!
I am forwarding you an email for Down Dog and online yoga platform that has given teachers and students FREE access to all of their apps until July 1! I registered our school, so all you need to do is click the link to get started (down below) and you are set! My sister is a teacher in Brazil and she really loves this app.
I will also be sending a link to families this week so kids who are interested can sign up too!
Here goes week #2!
Let me know if you need anything or if I can support you in any way!

From Down Dog:
Hello,
We are excited to inform you that someone from your school wrote in to get your entire school free access to all of our wellness apps until July 1st! Here's how to claim your free membership.
Down Dog is the highest-rated app for practicing yoga at home with a 4.9 rating across over 100k reviews. In addition to our main yoga app, we also offer apps for Yoga for Beginners, HIIT, Barre, and 7 Minute Workout.
We believe that stressful times like these are precisely when people need wellness practices the most. In response to the many school closures taking place as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have made all of our apps completely free until July 1st for all students and teachers (K-12 and college) so that they can have access to wellness at home through the end of the semester.
We’ve already added your school’s email domain to our list of school emails, so anyone who signs up using this domain will have unlimited access to our apps until July 1st! All they need to do is download the app or go to www.downdogapp.com, and then create an account using the school’s email domain. Once they confirm their email address, the free membership is automatically applied!
If you could share this information with the administration, faculty, and students at your school, we’d love to get them access as soon as possible.
Additionally, if you believe other schools in your district or city could benefit from using our apps during this time, please share this email with them. If their school’s email domain is not yet in our system, they can easily register to be on our list of school domains by filling out a short form at www.downdogapp.com/schools.
Thank you so much for your help in spreading the word, and we hope you enjoy practicing with us!
From Ms. B:
Hello, 1st and 2nd graders. I have been busy building this mobile with my son Zev. We used model magic, markers, chenille sticks, beads, string, magnet letters, and a stick we found in the backyard. We thought it would be nice to decorate our door with a little spring cheer. (Yes, the "S" is missing from the word spring...making art with a toddler is an adventure.) If you are interested in making your own clay to do this project you can check out this video that will teach you how to make salt dough. It also shows how to make a bird if you choose to follow along. Remember to send a photo along to lbresler@cvsdvt.org
Ms. H’s Post:
I hope you have all been outside enjoying the fresh air, I know I have! While you are outside this weekend look around at all of nature's treasures! Feel free to join me in my nature scavenger hunt and art project. With your findings, make some nature art! I hope you share your art with all of us on this slide show.Nature Scavenger Hunt & Art Activity

Mrs. Huestis sends her love! Here I am at my new desk/dining room table registering myself for some new learning about what this all means for library book circulation between now and the end of the school year and what to do if we can't go that route :)
