1 | Dear Families, These links contain optional resources for your child to complete. Each day provides different enrichment opportunities in all the subjects that your child has during any given day at school. These enrichment resources can't replace a school experience but can provide opportunities to keep learning active. If your child becomes frustrated with a chosen activity, please have him/her take a break and return to the activity later or select any of the other fun activities provided. You can choose from activities from any day, it does not need to be in sequence. You can also explore activities in other grade levels. The activities were carefully selected and are meant to be an opportunity for your child to review skills learned this year in a fun and engaging way. Links to games, videos, and other resources appear in blue. | |||||
