Happy Friday 3B
Parents!
This is indeed a
challenging situation that we’re in. I hope that you’re healthy and managing to
cope - please know that I am thinking of you and missing your child very much!
Thank you again for
your flexibility and patience this week as we try to figure everything out!
I’ve been busy participating in webinars to learn new tools, meeting with
faculty members through Zoom, and making some videos on ShowMe to help teach
some of next week’s concepts! You have all been very patient and supportive! Please know how appreciative I am!
Starting next week we
will move into using Google Classroom. This will be a place where students can
see assignments and materials as well as where they can submit their work.
I am still learning
how to use Google Classroom myself but hopefully what I have put together so
far will be easy to use and with any problems that arise- we will learn
together! *More on this to come!*
More exciting news-Next week, students will have the opportunity to be able to participate in a Zoom session with the class and me! We will have time to talk, catch up, and see how everyone is doing! *More on this to come as well.*
I wanted to share
with you some tips for learning at home! As I can see from all of the emails and pictures
I’ve been getting, that you all are doing a wonderful job! See pictures below!
Tips for At-Home Learning
- Learn
when your child’s best “focus time” is. Many children function best in the
morning. We know that your job obligations may restrict the hours when you
are available to help your child - but perhaps there are things that
he/she can complete with minimal assistance from you during “focus time.”
- Allow
for frequent breaks. If your child seems frustrated or is getting antsy,
set a timer for 5-10 minutes and allow them to choose another activity
before returning to their work.
- Verbally
tell and/or list out the assignments your child must complete in a day. A
list where they can check things off can be very helpful.
- Allow
your child to plan a fun activity to do after assignments are finished.
- Grant yourself grace! :) This is a difficult and unexpected situation, and we certainly understand that.
