Dear Big Lagoon families,

    Currently I am preparing for the 2 weeks we are out, creating home study packets for families that responded to my last email (should be ready by tomorrow!).  I will also be sending out information to log on several online programs that will support reading, typing, and math to all of you. Big Lagoon is shut down, which means we do not require the return of this work for grading, but if you choose for me to provide the materials I hope your kids use it and keep it safe.  We are calling it 'home study' since it is not Independent Study or Remote Learning.  

 

On a side note:  Read to your kids, talk to your kids around what they know, read, and have heard.  Create fun projects for them to practice their skills that fit into what you guys are already doing.  They learn so much every day- adding or taking away, recognizing letters and sounds, reading what they see, telling you clearly what they think and how they support those thoughts, measuring to help with dinner, telling time, talking about fractions, and so much more.

 

I'll continue making content available, so please look out for my emails and feel free to contact me ([email protected]).   I and my school will do our best to stay connected and respond as things develop.  

 

Thank you,

Ms. Rebecca
