Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.
Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.
Read and write every day! Record the title of the book/text and the pages read each day in your learning log.
All of us have had to adjust to new school, work, and life routines in the past month. It’s taken all of us time and patience to get adjusted and feel like we have good, solid routines in place to make this time as meaningful and positive as possible. Imagine you are writing a note to students who might endure a similar experience years and years from now. Give them step-by-step instructions of how to endure this time. Think about things like: a daily schedule, shopping, learning, time with family, ways to interact with friends and family.
Requirements: 5 -10 steps, must be written or typed, must be presented to a person in your home or videoed and shared with your teacher.
Writing Prompt: Listen to a classmate’s (or read a classmate’s) step-by-step instructions and write a response to them using a kind and encouraging tone. Your written response should tell them what you agree with and how your instructions were similar to theirs. Also, include a kind, encouraging message to them just because we all need that during this time!
*if you don’t have a way to communicate with a classmate, ask someone in your home to complete the activity and write a response to them
