Distance Learning for Home Use! Grades 1 & 2!

Hi Friends! I hope you are staying safe and staying healthy! If you are looking for something meaningful to send to your students via email or to post on your class page, you may like the following resources- it's what I'm sending home each week we are out. Students will need access to a printer (or they can recreate the simple forms in a notebook), but there's not a ton of individual pages to print. I hope you find them helpful! Many of them you can use in your future teaching, whole year & year after year!

These activities cover your reading, writing, spelling, and math activities for the week. There is also a research project, which is a great activity for your students to focus on while at home (this one has more pages to print). You can share the projects during your class meetings!

Distance Learning Survival Kit!




















God Bless You All!
