Hello families of Reagan Academy!

 

I hope you are happy and well and enjoying this unique opportunity for learning in the home.  

 

I have collaborated with some Utah art educators to share arts-based activities for the home. I wanted to make this document available to you.  I hope you find these activities engaging and fun, not to mention relaxing and rejuvenating for all.  

 

Please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if I can be of help and/or encouragement to you.

 

Also, please ask your students to show you the things they have been learning in movement class.
