School wide Enrichment Activities K-5 #4 and Continuity of Learning Plan Update

Hello Narwhals! 

Here is our last set of optional, enrichment activities to keep your learners actively engaged while our staff prepares for a more structured distance learning beginning April 20.  Below you will find direct links to grade specific non-technology based activities by grade level. Please let your child’s teacher know if you have any questions! 

We are happy to announce that our Continuity of Learning Plan was approved yesterday!  We are spending this week in professional development and clarifying all the details with teachers and staff.  I am so proud of the hard work, courage, and love being shown by the GRCDC staff. We are truly building a Distance Learning experience that we hope is flexible and experience as a good addition to your family life right now, and not a stressor.

The week of April 20:  Your child will have a class meeting and check in time with their teacher which is not optional.  You will receive an email from your child’s teacher with an invite to the class meeting. These will be at the same time every week and will be scheduled on a different day for each grade level, so siblings won’t have conflicts in sharing one device.  This week will be a time to connect to the teacher, to connect with classmates, and begin having a more structured schedule. We will also post a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Lesson and a virtual Community Meeting.

The week of April 27:  Each day students will have two, on demand video mini lessons to watch and assignments based on the common, school-wide schedule below.  These lessons and assignments will not be optional enrichment- this will be new content organized on our grcdc.org website. Classrooms will continue to have weekly LIVE class meetings. Stay tuned for more details!
