It was so nice to talk to everyone last week! Mrs. Baydoun and I are waiting patiently to be allowed to come to your houses and do a porch drop-off. Anything you requested we will be dropping off along with packets of work and some other surprises. If everyone stays home and does their part then it will be soon! I hope you continue to be safe. Starting this week I have added a schedule of “work time” which the kids are use to at school and will give you a good hour of time for them to play independently and be creative! It’s meant to give the kids something familiar for them to use in their day. If you have any questions about it please let me know. Feel free to do this during the time of day that best fits your schedules with your other children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zoom Meetings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sadly, because of privacy concerns we are NOT ALLOWED to use zoom for meetings anymore. We are going to use google meets, which can be done on a phone. We will put the kids into smaller groups so it will be easier to do activities with the kids. 16 kids at the same time didn’t work well! Mrs. Baydoun and I are trying to figure out the google meets so we will explain it at the end of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Movement<\/strong>-Click on the link below for a movement activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n10:00-10:10Or 5 to 10 Minutes<\/td> Plan for Work Time (playtime):<\/strong> Build your child\u2019s ability to organize their time by having them make a \u201cplan\u201d with you about what they would like to play with. Children do this everyday with us at school. It helps children learn to organize their thoughts. Adults make plans all the time to organize their thoughts (shopping lists are made before going to the grocery store, to do lists are made to help plan your day etc..).
