Distance Learning - Week 3 Complete
While we continue to navigate distance learning, we MUST continue to show compassion and grace to our students, parents and each other as we navigate these new waters while also keeping the emotional well being of our students as a priority!
Want to learn how to check your child's work in Google Classroom? It will show you if things are turned in, assigned, or missing. Graded assignments will show points and a comment icon if there is a personal comment. Here are two video tutorials that may help you.

The Rock and The Play-Doh
What Can I Control?
(originally published by Krystal Detarding)
FIRST! Find a rock and a ball of Play-Doh.
Hold the rock in your hand. Squeeze it as hard as you can. Try to bend it. Roll it between
your hands. Are you able to change the rock?
Now, hold the Play-Doh in your hand. Squeeze it as hard as you can. Try to bend it. Roll it
between your hands. Are you able to change the Play-Doh?
The rock is hard and can’t be changed but the Play-Doh is soft, and you have control over
what form it takes.
During this quarantine what do you have control over? What do you not have control over?
Here are some ideas….
I don’t have control over……
- What other people do or say
- Sickness
- How long this will last
I have control over…..
- What I do and say
- Washing my hands
- Finding fun things to do at home
