Make it Happen by Making a Schedule on Fridays
Start your week off right with a schedule! Tips for making a schedule:
1. On Fridays, after assisting your student with submitting work, look at all the assignment sheets (or consider what's coming up in your curriculum for LC remote).
2. On a blank piece of paper (or any pre-made scheduling tool) assign activities for Monday-Friday, based on the sheets.
3. Include homework, Zoom meetings, and other activities.
4. Note times if helpful (start schoolwork at 9:00 AM, etc.).
5. Involve students in planning if appropriate.
6. If helpful, make a daily plan for Monday.
7. Then you'll be all set for a relaxing weekend!
8. Monday morning...pull out your schedule and you're ready to go!

Ms. Barb's Art Elective Students - Pick up paint tubs
You will soon have art activities on the Choice Board that include acrylic primary colors. Little tubs of paint are available for you to pick up at the school. If you are in need of an art journal, those are available as well.
Talk to the Duck - Learning Strategy
Students...do you sometimes get 'stuck' when working out a problem in math or another subject when working on your own? Try to talk through the problem to a rubber duck or stuffed animal. It may help to lead you to your own answer!
