Hi CJL Families, Here is a link to a YouTube Video by the CDC called, "What You Need to Know About Hand Washing." https://youtu.be/d914EnpU4Fo Thank you for teaching your students proper hand washing and preparing them for needing to do this at school when they arrive, before and after they eat or play outdoors, or if their hands are visibly soiled. We'll be teaching students to wash for 20 seconds with soap and water. Thank you for your support!

During the exchange we will follow, and ask families to follow, social distancing guidelines and safety procedures. FAQs: Yes, we will be prepared for parents with 2 or more children who attend CJL to pick everything up for all of their children in one fell swoop whenever they come. No, for safety reasons, we will not be collecting completed student papers. Families can take pictures of those and submit them via SeeSaw, Bloomz, Dojo, or email as the students' work is very important. This way, feedback may be provided by teachers. Let's finish strong! Families will not be permitted to enter the building and teachers will be unavailable to families for consult during the exchange, as staff will be working on district curricula adjustments, filing, and packing obligations. The last day of teachers' Zoom meetings with students, virtual field trips, and virtual "closing" activities with students is Friday, May 29th. Please Save the Date for our rolling motorcade, "The Lamb Rovers," on Thursday, May 28th at 3:00pm. Rain or shine! Choose a spot on our route so we can honk, wave, and say thank you to all students' and their families for the grand effort made this year! We appreciate you all, miss you, wish you a safe and happy summer and can't wait to see you again! The route is shared on the CJL PTA's Facebook Page. Thank you, Sherri L. Baron Principal Carl J.

As CJL first graders completed their nonfiction writing unit, they used the Morphi Edu app to draw their research topics. The app turned their 2D drawings into 3D objects which Mrs. Miliano printed as necklaces with the library's 3D printers.

Kindness Matters It’s kindness that matters, In so many ways. Wherever you go, Whoever you see. However you spread it, Spread it generously. It’s kindness that matters, In the smiles you give. It’s in the ways that you behave, And the ways that you help. It’s in the things that you say, So, do more of it each day. It’s kindness that matters, And you started it that day. First in the hallways, Then into a club and beyond. Now spread it at home, And out and about. Thank you Kindness Club members! Mrs. Hally May 13/2020

Let’s celebrate Earth Day with a virtual spirit week next week! Please see the attachment for the flyer. Have fun!
