Kindergarten is about so much more than ABCs. It’s about learning how to be in school — how to hold a pencil, how to share, how to sit still during storytime. So, how do you do that when school is all online? We hear from two kindergarten teachers about what distance learning will be like for them and for some of the state’s youngest students. Marissa Ching is a kindergarten dual-language teacher in the Beaverton School District and Sarah Adams teaches kindergarten at Mill Park Elementary in the David Douglas School District.
