Tips and Reminders
On the blog you will find:
• My daily video
• Instructions for the daily lessons
• Spelling Words and homework
Wishing you and your families good health during this uncertain time in our lives. Remaining hopeful that God will continue to bless us and guide us.
Distance Learning Reminders and Tips:
• Number, name and date on ALL papers
• Take frequent brain breaks, dance breaks, stretch and massage breaks – this typically works when you are
transitioning to a new subject or lesson
• Wash your hands to the “Our Father”
• Pray every morning before you start your learning day
• Put completed work in any folder your child has
Enrichment Activities:
• 5 extra reading comprehension passage worksheets which you have
• stapled packet of extra worksheets (the top page has a Bug passage on it)
• Write and send a letter to a friend or family member
• Here are a few websites we recommend for enrichment or just for fun:
o Dynamic Catholic Blessed Videos - We started watching these in school and your kids LOVE them! They are a set
of videos to get them prepared and ready for their First Communion. I am so happy that Dynamic Catholic has
offered them free online. We have already watched Session 1, but you could always start again and watch a few
episodes to begin each day!
o Mad Science of Detroit – at home experiments
o Mel – Michigan eLibrary – Support for Virtual Engagement
o Learning A – Z - They are offering virtual support to families
o Reading Rockets - This reading website has a plethora of activities and ideas
o Around the Campfire - I follow this teacher on her blog and she just posted 50 educational websites for learning
at home
o Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems - Mo Willems is the author of the Pigeon series, Elephant and Piggie series and
Knuffle Bunny series (just something fun to break up your day!)
Here are a few games that are fun to play AND educational too!
• Bananagrams
• Scrabble
• Puzzles
• Flashcards
• Life
• Monopoly
• Memory
• RACKO
• Reading poetry – great for fluency!!!
• Make a game out of action verbs and acting them out
