Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is hanging in there and surviving this quarantine! I am starting to get a little antsy being cooped up in the house all day, but I’m looking for the positives in every day and making it a point to get outside for 30 minutes every day and read for fun 30 minutes every day. It helps keep my body and mind stimulated during this crazy time we are living in.

Anyway, attached at the bottom of this post are my lesson plans for this week. From the families I spoke with last week, I understand that this work can be overwhelming and intimidating. I do not want to make anymore work for you or bombard you with too much information. I changed the format of my lesson plans this week to make them more clear and easy to follow. Along the top are the days of the week and along the left side are the subject areas. The chart will tell you what I am asking to get done each day for each subject area. If a box is blank, that means I do not need anything completed for that subject area on that day.

I’ve also added our Haigh Habit for the month of April – Earth Appreciation – with daily activities to help promote Earth Day this month and ways the kids can help out. These are optional activities that are just for fun.

The last area is a For Fun row, which is again, just fun things to do as a family to keep all of our brains active and engaged. Again, these are optional activities 🙂

Please remember I am here to support you and your family. I truly appreciate the feedback I’ve received from families about our remote learning program at Haigh and am always working to change things up to add new things for the kids while making it as easy as possible for the parents.

I also love seeing the photos of the kids working on their school work at home and those adorable smiling faces that I miss so much! Keep sending the photos, the work samples, the feedback – I appreciate it more than you know!

Take care everyone. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay positive.

Mrs. Otto
