As you know, school will be closed starting tomorrow. Our school administration is working on guidelines for what our next few weeks will look like in terms of on-going learning using online platforms. Luckily, all of the kids already know seesaw, razkids and lexia well!
I will keep you posted and share links as soon as they are shared with me.
In the meantime, please take this opportunity to spend some extra time with your child. Play board-games together, read a book and talk about the book together. Cook dinner together or bake a cake together. Clean the mudroom and fold the laundry together. If your child does not know how to tie his/her shoe laces yet, learn that! There are countless life skills in these tasks.
Please also remember that our young learners absorb everything around them and they overhear adult conversations. Many of them are feeling anxious; as we are too. Check in with them and be transparent and honest about our new reality.
Today, we had a small group of kids, but they did an amazing job working together at school. We used seesaw to reach out to our senior citizen friends at Wake Robin. Please visit seesaw and see their thoughtful videos and recordings, supporting those in need at this time. If your child wishes to make a recording too, please support your child in this endeavour. Not only would this be kind, it would also allow you and your child to practice a digital platform together that we will use in the weeks to come.
Take care until next time. I will be in touch in the next couple of days.
Best,
Maria
