Our first week of our virtual classroom and using Google Classroom

We are doing things differently during these upcoming weeks and continuing our fun activities through our virtual classroom. We want to maintain as much normalcy as possible for our students. As educators, we want to provide a continuation of learning and work and share as a class community. We understand that this will be an adjustment for everyone, and adapting to new things takes time and patients for our little ones.

How parents explain to their children why we are not attending school is significant and essential to us as educators. Below are words in which parents expressed to approach this situation.

We are just going to encourage her to enjoy this new fun way of learning on a computer.
I told Teagan that we are going to turn our home into school for a while and that I get to be one of her teachers now. I explained that school is not going to be open for a little while, but we will still get to see Sandra and Janet on the computer. We will be able to join the hangout but not for the whole time because mine is supposed to start at 9:30.
We traveled to Connecticut to stay with family, so we have just told Wally that we are on vacation. Hopefully being in a new place will help The adjustment to a new routine.

Thank you all for you support!

Each day there is a different activity for the children to explore and investigate. Pictures and videos are excellent documentation for the teachers to see. If they did not have an opportunity to do the activity this week, they still can. Please add pictures or videos!

Color/Math

Find one object in your home that is shaped like a triangle, rectangle, oval, and star.

Each item Annabelle and Teagan found has a shape. Our homes are full of rectangle, triangle, oval, and star shapes. We have to look closely at each piece!
