Remote Learning for Preschool Students

Remote Learning for Preschool Students

During remote learning, your child’s teacher will be communicating regularly with you and your child using video conferencing (Zoom) to check-in and will provide video lessons accompanied by learning materials that will be sent home or delivered as needed. An iPad will be provided to all District preschoolers.

How can you help your child? 

• Each day review the activities with your child (Songs, Word Play, Letters (SWPL), Calendar, Handwriting Without Tears, Ready Rosie, Math Activities, Zoo Phonics, Story Reads, Art Projects, Music, and any other activities the teachers include). 

• Create a schedule each day that lists activities and shows completed activities. A daily routine will help your child be successful. 

• Help your child to continue his/her social-emotional growth. 

• Get outside! 

• Using Class Dojo, you can share a picture of your child engaged in learning activities and also share completed activities.

• Contact your child’s teacher via email or Class Dojo when you or your child have questions. 

• Limit screen time.  Only use the iPad to access the daily lessons provided by the preschool teacher.  

Organize an area in your home to provide opportunity for play at least 60 minutes per day: 

• Dramatic Play: Provide dress-up clothes, kitchen/office items, and any other props that allow your child to pretend to be someone or something different and thus explore his/her experiences and expand his/her imagination and creativity. 

• Cognitive/Fine Motor/Sensory: Provide puzzles, small building blocks, coloring books or anything that promotes problem solving and strengthening the small muscles in your child’s hands. Water play, digging in sand or other materials (rice, beans, etc.) exposes your child to different textures to improve fine motor skills. 

• Let’s Build: Provide boxes, wooden blocks, foam blocks, plastic containers, materials that help your child build, construct, create and represent their experiences. You can add cars, plastic animals, sticks, rocks, or anything that they can add to their creations. 

• Let’s Create: Provide materials to practice cutting, painting, drawing, gluing and creating their own masterpieces. 

• Library: Provide many different books for your child to explore - read to or with your child for at least 30 minutes per day.
