Grades K-5

Dear Peter Boe, Jr Elementary Families,

Your child's classroom teacher will be sending educational activities to be done at home in the event there is a storm and we cancel school. Our district will send out a notification stating we are having a “virtual learning day.” This notification will let you know you should utilize the information provided in this packet. This packet will be available for the month of Feb/March in the event of a storm day. After March, you will be receiving updated information to complete with your child. If packets are completed, additional information will be sent before the month is up. Teachers will also be providing time to interact with your student. Please look for this information on our Schoology and/or SeeSaw platforms.

Our goal for “virtual learning” is to provide continued practice for your student/s outside of the classroom. We see this as an opportunity to review skills that have been taught and showcase what students know. As you and your child work on these activities, please use your judgement to assist them as needed. We want these learning experiences to be fun, help them learn and think, and help them practice skills. We do not want them to be frustrating! If this occurs, we do ask that you reach out to the classroom teacher via email to discuss your child’s progress.

We have listed some accommodations you can use to ensure the activities are at the appropriate level for your child. If you have any questions, please let us know how we can help. Remember, reading and practicing math facts are always helpful!

Appropriate assistance for virtual learning activities:

*Read the assignment aloud to your child, restate it in your own words to help with understanding.

*Break the assignment into smaller steps (do the first part, then reread the problem and do the next part and so on).

*Use manipulatives for math problems (blocks, toothpicks, draw a picture/model).

*Allow breaks for movement in between or even during activities (play or dance inside/outside, use gonoodle.com, just let them move).

Educationally Yours,

Billie Soholt, Principal
