Hello parents,
The students of room one have been on my mind since the beginning of the week and the dismissal of schools. It was nice to briefly touch base with parents who could make it through the door to pick up personal items on Tuesday. To the rest, I hope this message finds your family healthy and happy (if not a bit mixed up).
At the end of Spring break we will be continuing our classroom learning through online correspondence. Although this will be a new experience for all involved, I for one and very excited to explore how the use of technology can enhance our student's learning.
Until then, here are some of my favourite suggestions from the CBE's "Learning at home" k-6 page:
- Choose a favourite or interesting object and draw from different angles/perspectives using a medium of choice
- Examine a family photograph or heirloom and share why it is special
- Read in a spooky, robot, or animal voice
- Go for a wonder walk down your street or in a naturalized area along the way you can:
- Go for a nature scavenger hunt, how many plants, birds, trees, winter berries, animals, manmade or natural items can you find?
- Take the outside in with your 5 senses. What are 5 things you can hear, 4 things you can see, 3 things you can feel, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you can taste?
- Also, Below is some photo documentation I was preparing for parent conferences, and a bonus of my baby boy at the bottom!
- All the best in these uncertain times,
Dallin Ursenbach
