It's the secondary students that are more independent and on their own that will get left behind on this home school quarantine time. Let's face it. I haven't thought of anything for them to do other than, "go see what your teacher has posted." But now that we are on Day 5 and my college kids are walking around like they are sooooooo tired. It's time I give them something to get over being:
I just can't anymore. So they are going to join our schedule at the Lovely Day Academy with some modifications.
News reports: They will find a current event on the many trusted sites available, read it, and create a video about it and send it to the family Marco Polo account. I have a few children that despise seeing themselves on camera. So hopefully, they will get creative.
A few sites I like as a teacher that parents can set up a few account with is NewsELA. I love this site because you can find news that lines up with your teens reading level.
Another source is the NY Times Learning Network . There are lessons, stories, current event articles, and activities for students.
Journaling: I am big on journals. So I will be thinking of prompts throughout the week to get them to reflect. Today's topic was :I am lucky because............. (we are extending St. Patrick's Day lessons until the end of this week.)
Math: They will be logging on to the Kahn academy if they have nothing else to do.
They have classes online and will need to get those finished. But after that, they can work on these activities. And then they can:
clean the garage
create a scavenger hunt (outside) for their little siblings
update their resume (for the job they need to look for when all of this blows over)
Study how to interview
clean
and they will each take turns making a meal.
