Hi folks,
I know the home-learning is getting....long. Do what you can. I made videos for each day and for each grade level to help alleviate some stress (https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo). The online programs are simpler and students can be independent.
While I'd like for the home-learning to continue, I also understand that we all have our limits.
If you and/or your child is stressing and need a break, here are some informal learning that I completely encourage. Use them in lieu of the home-learning for the day and pick-up where you left off next time.
- Sign-up for this year's Solo Speech Competition. Find the information here: Solo Speech Sign-up | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)
- Check out the live cams at the San Diego Zoo. Talk about habitats, animal needs, environmental changes etc. Live Cams | San Diego Zoo
- Build something out of snow as a family like a fort or snow slide (Dad Creates Fun Ice Slide In Backyard - YouTube)
- Bake some family recipes or have kids make new ones. Here's a neat site: 19 Easy Recipes That Kids Can Make | Cooking With Kids : Food Network | Food Network
- Look through old family photos and show kids how you used to be "fun" in your younger years.
Be well and stay positive. This too shall pass!
