Hey Everyone,

Here’s a reminder that we will be in contact on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We do not want to flood your emails with too much information. But of course we are available any day for questions you may have.

Below you will find some science and social studies activities that you could watch at home. We also included a link to a math program that is also available as an app. It is a GREAT math program that differentiates its teaching to match what each student is working on. We highly recommend it. It has a 90 day free trial that you need to sign up for before April 30th. Thank you to a parent for telling us about it!

Below that we put an example of a schedule you could follow at home. We know that all schedules will look different and you need to find one that works best for your family at this time. We thought sharing one might be helpful :).

Again let us know if there is anything we can do to help during this time!!

Hey Everyone, As we wrap up our blog posts for this week, we want to thank you for all of the support that you are providing your children in this journey. As we head into next week, which is spring break, please take that time to rest, relax, and recharge. When we return the following week, we will begin our Virtual Learning 2.0 Plan. As a district and school team, we have met to establish new plans and expectations as our safer at home mandate has been extended. We plan to make a video for parents to explain it! Thank you for your feedback on what we are trying to best help you. Please always feel free to let us know what is working or not working for your families.

3/24/2020 Hey Everyone, I hope that this week it has been easier to adjust to your new routines and enjoy learning experiences with your child and time with family. I am here for you if you have questions about anything. We are working hard as teachers to find the best ways to help from home. We're all in this together so please let me know how else I can help. We have decided for conferences to give you options for what works best for you! Please fill out this survey if you haven’t already: https://forms.gle/UC3SrDZ5LQH7Vb3e6 Also, if you do not follow NDLC Facebook’s page there are a lot of wonderful ideas and ways to connect available there as well! The page is called NDLC Charter School. We are even doing some virtual dress up days this week. Here are the lists of high frequency words to practice reading and spelling (we can also email you the PDF if you would like an easier way to print them): Just a reminder I am updating our Google Classroom if you want to check
