Hello,
Check out The Napping House activities and math worksheets for K and 1st. I added a link from the MED P.E. teachers, Bookflix, GoNoodle, and GetEpic.com (see eLearning links).
March 19, 2020
I have posted a lot more links and activities. These activities that I am posting are suggestions to help what you are already doing at home. Please don't feel overwhelmed that you have to complete all the activities. These are resources for you to use. Pick and choose what you think your child will be motivated to do. Reach out with anything that you need. I am here to help. If you don't get to something one day, it's fine. Keep in touch.

Hi!
Here are some websites (below) that you can use while you are home. You should already be reading Raz-kids and Clever codes. There are lots of great learning games on these websites. If you would like to let us know what you are doing this week, we would love to have you write about it. You can share these activities when we come back to school or through email.
This is your chance to let your kids do the things that get them excited... building forts, designing robots, baking muffins. This is your chance to help them see learning as something that happens ALL DAY LONG, in everything we do. Not just in textbooks and classrooms.
