We cannot wait until it is deemed safe for all of us to be physically in our classroom. Until then, we will be using certain online platforms for us to hold class, meet together, and work hard. It is important to help students stay on schedule, while also teaching them to take responsibility for attending Google Meet meetings and completing their Acellus assignments. If there are any concerns or questions please message your child's teacher on Class Dojo.

We will be utilizing the following platforms for distance learning. Please familiarize yourself and your child with logging on to each site with the provided login information.

*all sites are located in in our Student Portal or in the Student Online Resource Center on the kaumanaelementary.org website.

Google Classroom
Clever (i-Ready)
Acellus Learning Accelerator

School Supplies

Distance learning requires a unique supply list. Please support your child for learning success with the following items:

Create a quiet, well lit workspace with a flat surface (desk, table, ect.)
Headphones if they are not in a quiet spot.
Charging cable with device near an outlet in case of low battery during lessons.
Pencil, eraser, scratch paper/notebook

All other typical classroom supplies will be provided for them when we return to school.

Distance Learning Tips

Practice technology skills prior to activity (mouse skills, keyboard skills, how to turn on computer/tablet, how to mute/unmute Google Meet audio, etc)
Use a timer (a timer will help with student motivation and assignment completion; set goals and provide rewards)
Create a manageable schedule with various activity breaks (activity breaks can include outdoor play, yoga, indoor play, a walk, chores inside and outside, etc.)
Regularly communicate with your teacher and ASK QUESTIONS!
Be prepared! (be ready for the day’s lesson and activities with your supplies)
