I wanted families to know that I’ve put together a folder of materials for students to work on over the extended break, if parents are interested. If your student is in attendance today, March 13, 2020, they will come home with the folder. If your student is not in attendance and you would like the work folder, they have are available at the front office. You can pick up until 3:45pm today. None of the work in the folder or online opportunities I post are required. I simply want to make resources available to anyone who is interested.
In addition to the work in the folder, students have several online options for continuing to learn over the break. I recommend iReady online lessons for math instruction and/or IXL (login information is included in the student folders). Both are linked from this website under Student Resources>Student Links>Class Links. The kids know how to access this page and most know their logins by heart. I also recommend students continue their work on their fact fluency using XtraMath, which is linked from our website, as well.
For reading, I encourage students to read, read, read! As of the time of this post, the Eugene Public Library is still open and operational. The downtown branch is open 12pm-6pm and the Sheldon and Bethel branches are maintaining their regular hours. If you prefer to stay at home, they also offer several electronic options for enjoying library resources, including e-books, at no additional charge.

I’ll also be posting additional resources periodically for families to explore. Again, nothing is required. I just want to share resources your child(ren) may find interesting during this extended break to keep those little minds busy! 🙂
I’m going to miss seeing these kiddos’ smiling faces the next two weeks! Take care of yourself and your families. Stay healthy!
