Activity #7: Draw a map of your room
- Explore your room, what do you see? (e.g. desk, toys, bed, lamp, etc.)

Seeing my students engaged in the learning activities for today brings me so much joy! I just wish I could be there with them ❤️

The most effective “remote” teaching will spark learning, not simply cover content.

Give your students questions to pursue, not just answers to accept.

Give them something to create, not just something to complete.

Activity #4: Card Game “War”
-Split deck in half (1/2 for each player)
-Players lay out a card
-Whoever has the higher card gets to keep both cards
-Repeat until a player runs out of cards
This is a great activity for discussing the concept of more than or less than!

Yesterday this student wanted to be “Morah Rachael” ☺️ he had his mom be the student and she even got extra play time! 💕

I love to get picture updates from my students at home! Already missing these faces! Keep up the great learning! 💙💙

Activity #3: Homemade Playdough
(I skip the glycerine step!)

Give your child a cookie pan, cookie cutters, buttons, gems, a rolling pin, and any other materials that they can get creative with! Seal in an airtight container or ziploc so it stays fresh for future use!
