Learning Packets should be arriving soon or should already be at your home! Yes, they are a lot. The First Grade team is here to help you! Please familiarize yourself with the packets. Flip through them, and book mark the different sections if you can. This will help with finding things more quickly. We will start using the packets on April 13th! If you do not have yours by then please email and just continue to work on the Google Classroom.
Watch this video for more info (I also typed up the major points underneath).
Packet Info video
Outline: Each week I will post a weekly outline on the blog (at the bottom), Google Classroom and will send it in an email. This outline will help you navigate the packets and the Google classroom each day. We are trying to use both packet and Google Classroom. Some prefer packet and some prefer online, either is good. Please remember to do what you can but please don't stress if you can not get everything done. If you have a limited time please have your student choose (with your guidance) what they want to do.
Support/Challenges: Under the grid for the week is a section of supports and challenges per activity/section. If your student is struggling to complete an activity please refer to the support section. We have listed some things you can do to guide your student through the activity. The challenge section is to push your student and lists more activities you can do. This is great if you need more work for your student.
Technology: Ohhhh Technology! It has been a blessing and a curse during this time! If an app or website is not working please email. NHA is working on getting a Parent/technology help hotline up and running. I will send that info as so as I have it! Also some people have been having trouble getting in certain app/websites. Make sure your student's NHA account is the one logged in not a personal one. Sometimes computers get confused!
Breaks: Don't forget to take a break! Your students are amazing and can really focus but don't forget about breaks! Have them do some exercises, go outside for a walk or bike ride, do a Gonoodle.com video! If your student becomes frustrated please take a break!
Again, thank you for your support, patience, understanding, and kindness through all of this. This was an abrupt change for everyone and I appreciate your support while we scrambled to get everything going!
