Distance Learning
Kids’ author Mo Willems is here to make your weekdays a little better for a while: Starting today, he’ll release a new “Lunch Doodle” video each weekday at 1 PM.
Willems—he of the beloved Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Knuffle Bunny, and the Elephant and Piggy series, though you already knew that—is the current Education Artist in Residence at the Kennedy Center. He says his livestream will virtually invite “learners of all ages” into his studio and encourage them to draw and write with him. New videos will be posted to the Mo Willems page on the Kennedy Center’s website.
Willems is encouraging students to send him questions at [email protected], and he’ll try to answer some of the questions in his videos. “I know a lot of you guys are not in school. You’re at home right now, because of all the things that are going on. Well guess what? I’m at home, too,” he said in a video press release. “We’re gonna hang out together. Matter of fact, I’m really looking forward to it.”

LAUSD schools are closed from March 16th-March 27th.
A paper packet was sent home with your child on Thursday, March 12th. We went over the packet in class. Students should be able to complete the pages independently. Each day students should read the fluency passage, complete approximately 2 language arts pages (front and back), and complete approximately 2 math pages (front and back). We are also asking students to chose at least 3 March writing prompts (first and second page of the packet) to respond to. Completing the packet is the only required work for 3/16 - 3/27. If you have misplaced your packet, you can print a new one by clicking on the link below.
While completing the paper packet is the only work requirement at this time, I am including some additional ideas for working from home if you are interested.
- Have your child read for 30 minutes each day. They could respond to a couple of "text dependent questions" found under the subjects tab of this website.
- Log on to Zearn for additional math practice.
- Log on to Reflex for additional math computation practice.
- Log on to Amplify for additional reading practice.
- Go to GoNoodle.com and choose two dances for physical activity.
- Log on to Typing Tutor for additional typing practice
