Sunday, March 22, 2020Dear 3N Students and Families,Here we are at the beginning of another week of at-home learning. I hope last week went well for you all. I was so glad to see you interacting with me on ClassDojo, and sending me pictures of you at home or trying out the Dojo Portfolio with me for the first time. I’ve also had some of you reach out and send me writing that you’ve worked on. I’m happy to provide feedback on anything you complete during this time, but nothing will be scored or required to be turned in at any point. This week, I again will plan to do most of my communicating via Class Dojo (which is accessible both via the app and its website). On the following page, please find a list of possible daily learning activities for this week. Again, these activities are NOT required homework or “due” when we return to school. Rather, think of them as a menu or sampling of learning activities across subjects, both digital and non-digital. Parents, this week, I’ve set up the learning activities with a daily schedule—some of my colleagues in Grade 3 had parents request this for ideas about how to add more of a structure at home during the day. But again, do whatever works for you and your family at home! Students, remember you can complete them in any order you choose, and you can do multiple day’s activities if you’d like! In addition to the more specific learning activities for the week, I have also included a list of some additional resources as well. If you do nothing else each day, find time to lose yourself in a great book, get some physical activity (outdoors if it’s a nice day), and take some mindfulness breaks if you feel overwhelmed.794998914033500Students, I continue to miss you all, more than you realize! I will keep up the daily read alouds of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on ClassDojo, since I had so many positive responses. Parents, keep reaching out if you need assistance logging in or with any of the sites.

The following social-emotional and mindfulness websites are our ‘go-tos’ in 3N: - Cosmic Kids Yoga has some excellent yoga and mindfulness practice. In our classroom, we especially like the “Guided Relaxation” series of videos. - Go Noodle! has a variety of free brain break (and indoor friendly!) guided physical activities and dances that let kids move around in a structured way. They also have some mindfulness trainings as well. – Mrs. Skeffington came into our class two weeks ago and shared the book “A Little Peaceful Spot,” all about recognizing various emotions and using breathing and mindfulness techniques to bring ourselves back to a peaceful “green” spot. ................
