Learning at Home Video lessons for K-2 Students    
  • Scholastic "Learn at Home": classroommagazines.scholastic.com/support/learnathome.html. Even when schools are closed, you can keep the learning going with these special cross-curricular journeys. Every day includes four separate learning experiences, each built around a thrilling, meaningful story or video. Kids can do them on their own, with their families, or with their teachers. 
 
  • PBS Kids to the Rescue! Introducing the PBS KIDS Daily Newsletter. As schools across the country are closing due to COVID-19, PBS KIDS is here to help. Next week, we will introduce a new newsletter, with activities and tips you can use to play and learn at home with your child. From special episodes to recipes, and activities to crafts, we'll share tips each day for your family to enjoy from shows like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Wild Kratts, Pinkalicious & Peterrific and more.
 
  • Lunch time is way more fun with Mo! Grab your paper and pencil and bring your imagination to life (www.kennedy-center.org/education/mo-willems/). Mo Willems invites YOU into his studio every day for his LUNCH DOODLE. Learners worldwide can draw, doodle, and explore new ways of writing by visiting Mo’s studio virtually once a day for the next few weeks. Grab some paper and pencils, pens, or crayons and join Mo to explore ways of writing and making together. You can see each weekday’s new video at 1 p.m. ET.
 
  • Epic is a great digital library for our kiddos.  They can access it in Canvas but they need to use their student ID and password.  It's the same information they use to access Lexia.  
   
  • Free video conferencing app ZOOM. Students or teachers who fill out an online form using their school email addresses and are then verified by Zoom will have any accounts associated with that school’s domain also gain unlimited temporary meeting minutes.
 
  • ​PebbleGo: Our students in first through fifth grade are familiar with this resource.  It has audio and great text features. Visit www.pebblego.com and click "Sign In". See the email from Ms. Williams or email the PTO for username and password.
