The YouTube Link to the weekly Read-Aloud is located: HERE

Questions to ask your child in response to the read-aloud:


  • What are some of the things the girl in the book did?
  • When the girl was little she cried a lot. What does she do now?




Learn at Home activities for today:

Monday: 

 Stories:
Share a story with your child about something from their past. Among other things, this could be a story about the first time your child did something new, a funny story about an experience or a time when your child made you proud.




Continued Weekly Activity

Timeline: 
Talk about important milestones in your child’s life and create a timeline that reflects a few of these experiences. Think of two to four noteworthy events in the child’s past such as when a child was born or took his/her first steps, began school or an important family event such as a new home or sibling, etc. You can draw or include pictures on the timeline! Please email a picture of any completed work to MsMcGarryCOVID19@gmail.com 


Thank you to all the students and parents that have sent me pictures of the children's work!  I will be adding more pictures as they come in!

Scholastic Learn at Home - The website offers multiple days of content including read-alouds, movement activities, STEM activities, drawing activities, building activities, etc.  

One of the parents suggested to set up a free Zoom account and have one family member or friend teach their child something new each day via a Zoom call!
