Wow, this is a hectic and stressful time for educators! In addition to being separated physically from the people and places that typically offer relief, we’re now tasked with re-envisioning teaching and learning. This places great strain on each of us.
Amidst the chaos, we applaud your creative efforts to continue to provide emergency remote learning during this disruption. We know it's not easy.
We’ve been collaborating with the early childhood experts who developed Connect4Learning to curate resources you can share with families to implement at-home learning in approachable, “bite-sized” chunks. (We've heard that the long lists of websites and additional resources tend to be overwhelming and counterproductive for parents and educators alike!)
Start off with this at-home social emotional activity, and share with families today.
Tucker the Turtle, a key fixture in the Connect4Learning curriculum, is a great tool that teaches children helpful calming strategies. Introduce him to families by sharing that Tucker the Turtle sometimes gets angry or upset, but he has a “turtle way” to calm down.
