At-Home Instructional Opportunities: Creating A Learning Environment
Dear Families,
Mrs. Stephenson here to bring you a new idea for at-home learning. Creating a good environment for your learners is important for their success. When your child is meeting with a teacher, try to set them up in a room that is quiet and free of distractions. Make sure they have a pencil and paper just in case they need one for their class meeting. Check on your child during the meeting. Encourage them to answer the teacher's questions and participate. Consider offering a reward, like screen time or a special snack, after the class meeting if they participate well.
When students do not meet online, make sure your child spends a chunk of time on classwork each day. They should be doing 20 minutes of iReady Math and ELA, and assignments from their teacher as well. Sometimes it helps to tell kids that they can have their devices only AFTER completing their school work.This work is an incredible challenge, but working together, we will make sure students are ready for the next grade level in August!
I'll have a new instructional idea for you to try next week.
Best regards,
Melissa Stephenson, TSA
