Weekly Update - November 9, 2020

 

We are into our 2nd week of virtual learning.  Thank you for all your hard work.  I know there have been hundreds of parent and student contacts and countless hours put into it.  

I have had a few conversations with teachers over the past few days about "how much work is enough" and "how long should students be spending on their virtual work?"  I don't know that anyone has a "right" answer for this one.  We need to find a balance between enough work to count for a school day and what is feasible and realistic for students to do at home with little or no help.  

I am sure we all have different opinions about this but I think a good middle ground is about 30 minutes per content area for grades 3-5 and 15-20 minutes per content area for grades K-2.  This means that the average student would spend a couple of hours in the upper grades and about an hour in the lower grades.

Hopefully this will be helpful as you plan the rest of your lessons for the week.  Thank you for all you are doing.
