Tuesday April 14. Set your Routine for the School area in your home. I have a friend who set hers up at her Dining Room table.

-

set up a weekly schedule that works for your family
ideas/sample
A Schedule for each day. Set up by age appropriateness.
Date, Schedule for day. Organizational area: papers to do and hand in. Projects to work on. Current Events. Math, Science, Music, Physical Education, Language Arts, History. Use current events and your Kid's Schedule from this year to set up and follow. Use communication from their teachers to complete your model. Set up an email chain with all their teachers.



















Routine is important.


Quotes were something a friend brought to my attention when our kids were in First Grade. She had a clipboard and would add a quote every morning for her kids to see before leaving for school. I adopted this practice and use them to this day. 

Quotes from a 5th Grade teacher’s walls whom I respect greatly.

It's the start of a new school year. 2020-2021 Let's make it great. Find what interests you and expand. Look closer and find connections to build upon. Have some fun, exercise, eat the rainbow of healthy foods, and challenge yourself each new day.  My Blog is about pulling learning resources from as many sources as possible. This blog began as a way for me to pull all the information I have used, gather, and come across from my knowledge base and anything else I find of interest and or come across daily. I have a Masters in Elementary Education 1-6, my undergraduate degrees are in Communications, (Graphic Design concentration) and International Relations. I have raised two daughters of my own, 24 and 19, as well as work with kids in the schools in our town for 25 years on a part time, volunteer, as a mentor, or as a Substitute Teacher over these years. Sports are also a big part of our lives and wellness also. We love museums, Aquariums, Libraries and any National Park, or oth...

Tuesday 6/15 My Background is in Communications, This piece is a beautiful story selling a tough old American Brand. And I relate because at the beginning of Quarantine, I bought a pair of Work pants and hiking shoes and have worn them almost everyday.  They have stains, rips, a bleach spot, paint and my life displayed on them, and the story Jason tells is a beautiful. I didn't really know about Jason until I watched this. https://youtu.be/zL7SobTAnuQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa This sums up Quarantine in a profound way for me. He embraces life and family. Ohana. This movie is worth the time it takes to watch. American and authentic. You may like this one too.

Helping those in Need “I am your farmer, your nurse, your provider, healer and protector. Bio security is nothing new for me as a hog farmer, keep the pathogens low, the herd is protected and thrives. This is the same theory behind social distancing. I know many are feeling the strain both mentally and financially due to this invisible enemy, but please keep doing what you are doing and stay home, stay away from friends and family until this passes…for those of you who think this isn’t real, or is being blown out of proportion, you’re dead wrong….if you could see what I see, you would change your mind…please do your part to keep me, my family, and our animals safe. My greatest fear isn’t dying from this, it’s giving it to someone I love.” https://www.ediblecommunities...

Corona Virus and the shift in Education from the classroom to the Homefront

Hi, Looking for ways to transition learning to Home? I have comprised list of all the educational offerings showing up in my mailbox over the past weeks as our educational systems have ground to a halt and each person collectively has reorganized their lives to accommodate for the shift from normal to a new normal. Change is inevitable. We weren't prepared for this. How do I start to educate my kids when I am also reorganizing my life? This is something we are all trying to be resilient through. I am consistently awed by the way people are coming together to help each other right now. I have been waiting for my moment to contribute. Today I am starting this blog to bring what I know to the table, share, and ask you to share your triumphs along the way. I will load content that I come across that applies to anyone wishing to use these readily available tools online. I will organize them here, along with activities and places to view, engage, or otherwise educate yours...
