Hello Parents!
Spring is almost here…11:50 p.m. arrival time. Hoping all is going well under “these” circumstances.
I’ve been answering some parents questions via email and thought I’d extend some of my responses. Please, please, please don’t let my school schedule stress you out. Enrichment activities are most important now. Use some of my ideas from past posts or at the bottom of this one.
I would STRONGLY encourage keeping a journal (individual or family), sharing the writing experience with the entire family. Pass it round and write a few sentences, illustrations, cartoon,poems, etc…I’m sure it will become a valued piece of family history in years to come.
Your children are very familiar with Zearn, Read works, Raz Kids and Epic so have them utilize those. Khan academy (Clever site) is loaded with academic sites. All assignments can be done on paper—IF you child wants to send them to me on a google doc—great, but not necessary. I would like to read their reports (we’ve done these in class on google docs), so by all means send those to me. This assignment is extended to next week. Children enjoy learning new facts and new vocabulary, so researching a topic of interest is important.
Additional ideas:
*Painting
*Yoga, scarf dancing to music
*Share with family member a book you’ve read
*Make a little family skit/movie (Act out a book)
*Create a game
*Enjoy your family time!!!!!!!!!
Sending your little ones a huge smile and hug!
Fondly,
Mrs. Burke
