SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF YOUR CHILD Many components of ELA (English Language Arts) provide a great opportunity to support the social and emotional well-being of your child during these uncertain times. Reading aloud to your child provides comfort in knowing you are there for them. Discussing books children are reading independently gives them the opportunity to ease their minds. Journaling is a great opportunity for children to express thoughts and feelings, which is greatly needed during this time. They are part of history. Handwritten, typed, in photographs or drawings… record events, day to day activities, fears and feelings. EVIDENCE OF WORK In order to determine the pass/incomplete grade at the end of the 4th marking period, evidence of work must be submitted to the classroom teacher. Choose two activities listed in this packet each week to submit evidence to the teacher. Submissions are encouraged to be submitted through Class DoJo or email. Take a picture of the work or a picture of your child completing the work and send to the classroom teacher. If you are not able to submit using any of the methods described above, please hold onto all completed documents and return to teacher when schools reopen. RESOURCES There are many digital resources that are referenced in the Home Learning Materials. All the resources are included under the Clever application. This allows students to sign in one time and have access to many resources. Please see the directions from your child’s classroom teacher on how to access Clever.
