I am about to reveal my nerd side, but hear me out! I have an amazing way to engage in creative play that has so many elements that promote learning and it is all in game form! Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D, is a table top rpg, that requires dice (math skills), creativity (character building), problem solving, communication, and teamwork (and that's just to name a few off the top of my head). It is an engaging activity, a game that is fun for everyone! I am linking a guide to the best way to create a D&D experience that is kid friendly (you need an adult to help!). If it is something a lot of you guys are interested in, maybe we can figure out a way to play together!
We (almost) always start our days with a journal prompt. I sent home new journals in the last work bundle so you guys can carry on with building your writing skills. Here are some challenge prompts that you can have an adult help you with. Why are they challenge prompts? The prompts are only one sentence long! You still need to build a detailed, six sentence response in paragraph format (indent, capitalize, punctuate, complete sentences) but you do not have as much instruction from me. If you would like to respond to one in the comments (have an adult help you) I would love to see how you do! Keep in mind that comments can be seen by other students, so keep it school appropriate!
One of the most important things you can continue to do is read. Readers theater is a great way to do that. Get your family and/or friends (via skype, facetime, or another parent approved and parent monitored way) to put on a readers theater play!
Hey 2nd graders,
Quarantine is hard! It has good stuff, not so good stuff, and can feel lonely, or boring, awesome, or anywhere in between and any combination of emotions. If you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts on quarantine, have an adult help you comment on this post. Keep in mind, other students can read the comments, so please keep it school appropriate! Ms. M Alright 2nd graders and families. Here is my attempt at creating a space that is more interactive than me sending emails all the time. Here is where you will (hopefully) be able to find copies of work, videos, and read aloud recordings to help with distance learning.
