Elementary Weekly Update

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As you know, our new Extended Learning Site is filled with activities that provide students the opportunity to learn when school is not in session. We are continuing to add web-based, printable resources and experiential learning opportunities to the Extended Learning Site. As a reminder, this resource has been created by our educators and provides students with numerous activities and suggestions for enrichment and engagement that have been vetted by our teachers and Director of Teaching and Learning.

Today, we have a new tab under “School Level Resources” - “Grade Level Activities.” Here you will find activities that our teachers have developed that align to grade level skills and strategies and build on student’s knowledge and previously learned skills.

Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher via email with any concerns.

Do some random acts of kindness. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation provides numerous ways of being to be kind. Take some time during this challenging time to be kind!

Here are some activities that can try at home with items you have hanging around. Check your recycle bin for supplies! Be creative, collaborate with someone at home. Don’t worry if you fail, try again, do something different! Send us pictures in remind of what you try. We will share with the group!

Try keeping a journal of your time spent at home with your family over these weeks. Explore and write down you emotions. What will your kids tell their kids about this unrepresented time? Document your families emotions and new day to day activities.

Now that the nice weather is coming go outside and try a nature scavenger hunt. Click on the photo for a list of things to look for on your hunt. Try and find things that interest you on this hunt, while making it a fun outing for the whole family.
