Distance Learning
During distance learning, it can be difficult to prioritize student tasks. After all, there is only so much time in the day. READING can always be your first priority. Reading daily is essential to student vocabulary growth, writing development, grammar, critical thinking, and metacognition. Strength in reading will support learning in all other subjects. As the libraries are closed, here is a link to the digital library card program. Books can be downloaded to iPads or phones, then you don't even need to be online to read! I have used the Libby (San Diego County) Library App for a few years now and I LOVE IT. It saves me a ton of money too, since I am not paying for new books. For young students, here are some of my favorite picture book read alouds. If your students are struggling readers, they can create sight word flashcards and practice with adults. Here is the list of sight words for each grade level. These are words that students should not sound out, they should know them at first sight and be able to recall them in a snap.
Due to the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, MFLCs and Child and Youth Behavioral MFLCs (CYB-MFLCs) will be transitioning temporarily to the provision of MFLC services via a Video Teleconferencing and Telephonic model to continue support to your military community. The provision of a remote offering is the most effective way to protect our MFLCs, service members and their families at this time. We are pleased to announce this temporary capability to provide continuity of care in your local community.
The model of MFLC and CYB-MFLC telehealth is below.
Support for Adults:
- Telephonic and video non-medical counseling
Support for Children and Youth:
- Individual video non-medical counseling sessions for minors age 13 to 17 (parent or guardian must be available at the start of each video session to give parental consent and provide line of sight requirements)
- Family video non-medical counseling for minors 6 to 12 years of age (parent or guardian must attend each session)
Donna Castelli can be reached at 619-451-6768, her confidential phone, Monday through Friday 8:00am-3:00pm, to establish a telephonic or video non-medical counseling appointment.
