Hello Friends, I am sure that the after school meeting that I participated in on Thursday was very similar to yours.... Our principal telling us that our spring break was being extended and that we would be working together to create home learning activities for our students - with no definite ending. It was such a surreal experience... My students and I had just been discussing all the fun things that they were going to do when we returned - finish our pinball machine, wear shorts for the first time since the fall, plant something in our school garden.... now, everything is so uncertain. And for the first time, we might be creating lessons on line for our students - which is new territory for so many of us. I am blessed to have some really amazing contacts in the teaching world. I have been perusing some of my favorite bloggers who have gathered together resources that can be used while we struggle to create plans for our little ones. I thought that I would share the links that I found to be useful. Hopefully having all these links in one place will save you a little time as you plan. There are several lists circulating right now. I tried to list (mostly) ones that give kids a bit more hands-on experiences. Of course, parents need a printer for many of these hands-on activities, so if you need more internet based experiences for your students, scroll to the bottom of my post for an internet based link. This looks so interesting and the service is free (at least for now). It looks to be a good site to do video conferencing with your students. I have only glanced at the possibilities, but being able to speak to my students in some way sounds amazing. Shelley has provided links to a few math games, a free camping unit, and other age appropriate links and ideas. There is a wonderful list of on-line games listed on this blog. The Blue Brain Teacher has created (and continues to create) google slide lessons for kindergarten teachers to send to their students that will last up to 14 days. I love The Science Penguin and she has uploaded some fun science activities that simply need to be downloaded. I love Differentiated Kindergarten. Marsha has listed some wonderful links and resources on her blog. A free resource from Differentiated Kindergarten that is worksheet free.... Mary, from Sharing Kindergarten created a wonderful list of activities to do that are easy for teachers to share and parents to implement. Here are free Print and Play resources from The Measured Mom. Scholastic has posted some amazing activities with more to come. Phonics Hero has created a 30 day free trial for parents. This is free from Katie Mense for a limited time. Home lesson plans for 4 weeks! Deedee Wills created this packet filled with ten math and literacy games and it's free right now! Tons of fun activities for kids to do at home are listed on this website. This resource has two amazing editable templates - a schedule and "lesson plan" template - all to be shared with parents. This is an "At Home Calendar" with a choice board. Sesame Street continues to strive to create videos and activities to teach kids to care and get along. Mo Willems is hosting lunch time doodles videos - perfect for Elephant and Piggie lovers! If you are looking for Catholic resources, Tiny Saints are uploading materials for our littlest learners. Presently there is only one, but their website says that they will be uploading more. For a limited time, Catholic Kids is making their library of Mass videos available for children. These items are not free, but are reasonably priced for stressed out teachers. My sweet friend, Deedee Wills, has created a home learning pack for both kindergarten and first grade and she has reduced the price greatly. She is presently working on two more to add. Kreative in Kinder has created a packet for kindergarten learning that can be found in her store. If you need activities that are simply internet based, Cara Carroll has a wonderful blog article with tons of links listing internet based resources by companies that have lifted their subscription fees for a few weeks and/or months. I will be updating this list as I find more resources. To find free resources in my store, click the image below. I am in the same situation as you, so I have not made anything specific to home learning, but I have quite a few free items in my store that might be helpful.... In closing, my favorite life quote (from Nelson Mandela) has always been "It always seems impossible until its done." Hang in there, sweet friends.... together we can do this... Blessings,
