Paper, Paper We Need Paper

Help me give my students a way to work together both at home and in the classroom. I need to make packets for my in-person and remote students so they have the same work.

My Students

I have the most amazing first graders who are learning both in-person and remotely. Through these rather confusing and stressful days their smiling faces give me the extra push I need to keep going. While I have my in person children I also live stream all day, every lesson to my students at home. My students vary in demographics as well as socio-economic backgrounds but we are a family!

My Project

With the paper, I will prepare the packets on a weekly basis so both sets of students can complete the work in the classroom and at home in real time.

The students will receive packets for word study, reading and writing, word study.

This will greatly help my students stay organized and it will help my parents understand our lessons so they can help their children while they are home learning remotely during our live stream lessons. They will also receive some seasonal worksheets to help celebrate the seasons and the holidays together.
