If school has closed, please utilize the 2 week lesson guide packet that was sent home with your child. If you have any questions regarding the 2 week lesson guide, please reach out to me via Dojo or email.
I will continue to add additional resources that you can use during the time of a school closure. Please be sure to READ with your child :) Talk about the book, the story elements, and ask them questions about what you have read. Below you will find different resources that you can use to engage your child during this time of home instruction.

My PlayHome is a free app that gives kids a digital doll family of up to 15 people in various skin tones with whom they can explore, play, and share stories with other people. These shared stories help to increase student verbalizations, provide a place for social and emotional learning, and teach necessary early language skills.
