Specialists

Summer 2020

Thank you for your participation in Distance Learning with the Specialists. We have enjoyed connecting with many of you through Live Zoom classes, Snack Chats, and Office Hours. We appreciate your flexibility, resourcefulness, and energy.

We have loved hearing your thoughts and questions, and seeing the projects you have shared during our year of WAVE. As we all head into the summer days, we are wishing you LOTS of time for continued exploration, activity, and fun! All of this spring’s Specialists’ Activity pages for each Level (links below) will remain active over the summer.

• If you missed a fun-sounding activity

• you want to rewatch a tutorial

• listen to some stories or watch a storytime

• make some art

• hear some Español

• do a PE work-out

• try a science experiment

• compose a song

• design something with paper or technology

• or just see some familiar teachers’ faces feel free to visit the pages.

We know you will continue making discoveries on your own with each day that passes! We look forward to working with you in the fall and together continuing the journey of learning, listening, creating, and collaborating to make the world a better place.

Here’s to summer fun and discovery,
