Shout out to @SEPSchools! They’re providing ALL children in the district breakfast/lunch. This is everything for the girls this week. The girls are crazy excited to have a little bit of school at home. THANK YOU to SEP and the volunteers!!
Our 5 year old seems to have deemed himself the local virus warden.
Over the fence to our neighbour:
‘JEAN YOU NEED TO GO INSIDE’
‘Okay I will in a minute’
‘YOU’RE OLD AND THERE’S A VIRUS’
‘I’m not that old thank you’
‘HOW OLD ARE YOU JEAN?’
‘I’m 68.’
‘THAT IS NEARLY 70 JEAN.’
If parents are looking for ideas while off for 2 weeks. Let the children run & play! Let them use their creativity in unstructured play. Let them have recess. Let them read & draw. Let them play OUTSIDE. Let them have naps. Play board games with them & enjoy being with them

So my cousin and his wife got an email from their sons teacher. He didn’t do his hw so she asked him to write a paper saying why he didn’t do his hw and this is what she got...😂🤦🏼♀️
Look it up is a 21st century norm. I bet you looked something up today already. What do you design into your lesson plan that plans for kids to look it up?
@LeslieVFL @mrtinich @alicekeeler There's no point to assigning HW. If Ts formatively assess Ss DURING CLASS, Ss who have clearly met the objectives don't need it & Ss who are STILL struggling are going to either (a) copy it from someone else (b) find another S to do it or (c) go to https://t.co/3R48MXOvK7😯
