Mrs. Carr's Classroom News: Resources for Families in the Event of an Unexpected Closing

Dear Parents,
Below are resources that can be utilized at home during an unexpected closure. Please remember that these are all optional. During times of worry and unrest, structure and routine can bring normalcy and a sense of calmness to our children. In keeping my students' best interest in mind, I have put together activities for both families with and without Internet to allow your child to access what they need to keep their minds and creativity active. Please note that these resources are ones we have accessed throughout the entire school year and your child is already familiar with how to utilize them. I would suggest setting a goal with your child about what they would like to accomplish each day. My recommendation is to choose a reading, writing, and math activity each day. Keep in mind that our daily reading goal is 20 minutes.

I have not mentioned this blog post to the students at this point as I don't want to give them additional worry. I simply wanted families to be prepared. Hopefully we will not need these resources and things will improve! Thank you always for your support and remember I am always an e-mail or Dojo message away!
