I hope you enjoyed last week’s topic that focused on understanding the best way for your child to learn and how to support them. This week’s topic is celebrating summer and finding ways for your child to have fun, be engaged with their learning, and stay safe through social distancing as needed. Boys and Girls Club has a “Virtual Club” that provides kids with interactive videos and other resources to support learning. Check out their video “Fun with Strawberries” that demonstrates how to make a strawberry parfait dessert and shares some interesting facts about strawberries. Another fun thing that families often do during the summer is visit aquariums and/or museums. Unfortunately, during this time of social distancing that experience might not be possible in the traditional sense this summer. However, there are many aquariums, zoos, and museums that offer fun and interactive online ways to experience these places. Below are some links to aquariums and museums that feature things such as live cams and tours. For kids who love animals, check out the Atlanta Zoo’s video “Panda Cam” which shows a live video of a panda at their zoo. Something that I often did during the summer as a child was theater camp and dance. Electric Moon Theater Company offers videos that involve the creative arts. For the kids who love dancing, check out their how to tap dance video” Born to Tap Dance.” Keep in mind that even though this summer might be different for our kids, there are still many online resources that can inspire meaningful learning and fun. Please check out the links below to review as a family and begin the summer online experience with your kids! “Fun with strawberries” https://youtu.be/BQ4YyK86evI “Panda Cam” https://youtu.be/bJGrLNCg0pM “Born to Tap Dance” https://youtu.be/WUw_0OpzVwI Boys and Girls Club Virtual Club https://www.bgcsonoma-marin.org/virtualclub/ “Bored at Home?

A medida que se acerca el final del año escolar, ¡quiero ofrecerte algunas actividades interesantes que puedes hacer para continuar aprendiendo! Diario Escribir un diario es una excelente manera de reflexionar y registrar algunas de las cosas que están sucediendo en tu vida. Los diarios pueden ser terapéuticos en tiempos difíciles. Pueden ayudarte a llevar un registro de los días y cómo te sientes. Es importante recordar que las diarios son privados y no deben leerse a menos que tu otorgues permiso. Aquí hay algunas instrucciones de escritura que pueden ayudarte a comenzar el proceso de escribir en un diario:
Componiendo una Canción Crear una canción debería ser una experiencia divertida para todos los involucrados. Esta es una oportunidad para explorar una variedad de temas. Recuerde que las canciones no necesitan ser serias, ¡a veces las divertidas son las mejores! Esta es una oportunidad para que experimentes con la rima y uses la repetición. Poner en un espectáculo de marionetas Usar títeres invita a estudiantes y miembros de la audiencia a ejercitar su imaginación. No es necesario que los títeres estén hechos de una lista complicada de materiales, mediante el uso de papel reciclado y cartón, los estudiantes pueden crear títeres increíbles Visitar un museo (virtualmente) ¡Existen numerosos museos que ofrecen recorridos virtuales y recursos gratis! ¡Mira la lista a continuación para comenzar!
Hello Luther Burbank students,
As you are coming toward the end of the school year, I want to provide you with a few engaging activities you can do to continue learning! Journaling Journaling is a great way to reflect on and record some of the things that are going on in your life. Journals can be therapeutic in troubling times. They can help you keep track of the days and how you are feeling. It is important to remember that journals are private and should not be read unless you give permission. Here are a few writing prompts that can help you start the journaling process:
Creating a song should be a fun experience for everyone involved. This is an opportunity for you to explore a variety of themes. Remember songs don’t need to be serious-sometimes the funny ones are the best ones! This is an opportunity for you to experiment with rhyme and use repetition. Putting on a Puppet Show Puppetry invites students and audience members to exercise their imagination. Puppets don’t need to be made from a complicated list of materials, by using recycled paper and cardboard students can create amazing puppets. Visit a Museum (Virtually) There are numerous museums that offer virtual tours and resources for free! Check out the list below to get started!
Dear Burbank Family, I hope you enjoyed last week’s topic that focused on tips for supporting your child with their learning process through learning by doing. This week’s topic is understanding what kind of learner your child is and how to support them. There are three main types of learners, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic (learning through movement). Understanding what type of learner your child is can help support your child’s development in the home and educational realm. You can understand what kind of learner your child is by observing the best way that they learn something at home. It would also helpful to understand the best way your child learns at school through teacher feedback, work samples, progress reports, and what areas your child shows the most success in. You might observe that your child can follow directions best through the use of a visual chart, enjoys reading, and understands information well through viewing pictures, your child could be a visual learner. If your child can follow oral directions better than visual charts, often remembers facts or information from video clips, movies, or the radio, your child could be an auditory learner. If your child likes using cubes or other manipulatives to do math activities, learns activities best at home by physically doing the activity, such as helping cook a meal, and/or needs lots of breaks, your child could likely be a kinesthetic learner. Below are some videos that you may find helpful in understanding the best way that your child learns and how to support them. Consider making it a goal this weekend to observe some things about your child that shows what kind of learner they are. Sending our families good wishes, Olivia Smith
Dear Burbank Family, I hope you enjoyed last week’s topic that focused on tips for supporting your child with their reading. This week’s topic is supporting your child’s learning process through learning by doing. Learning by doing can start with chores at home and watching the adults in their lives. Remember, kids are always watching! Teaching your child a positive way to contribute to the household can teach responsibility and awareness of others. This can also help teach your child awareness of others. Responsibility and awareness of others at school is important for your child’s development and learning process. Successfully applying responsibility and awareness at school contribute to your child completing in class assignments in a timely manner, turning in homework on time, respecting teachers and staff, and creating friendships with other children around them. I hope you enjoy using these tips this weekend! Below are some videos that you may find helpful in supporting your child with their learning by doing.

Hello Burbank Family, Today I want to teach about our tool called the "Please and Thank You" tool. The symbol is a key because saying please and thank you is the "key" to good communication. The tagline says "I treat others with kindness and appreciation. When we say please, it is good manners, but also very kind. When you say thank you, it shows that we appreciate the things that we do for others. When talking about saying thank you and appreciation, the practice of gratitude. People who have studied happiness and what makes people happy have seen that those who are thankful are happier. Taking a few minutes every day to list what you are thankful for can make you happier! Did you know that? Watch the video below to teach you more about the please and thank you tool, then list what you are thankful for! Can you think of 10 things? Let me know! Love, Miss Smith Dear Burbank Family, I hope you enjoyed last week’s topic that focused on creating a reward system. This week’s topic is supporting your child with reading. To improve your child’s reading, it can be helpful to do the following with your child: Read with your child for 15-20 minutes a day; help your child understand words that are challenging for them by sounding them out and breaking parts of the word up into chunks; encourage your child to read about topics that interest them; have an older sibling help your child with reading; encourage your child when they make progress and help them move on if they make a mistake. I hope you can enjoy using these tips this week! Below are some videos that you may find helpful in supporting your child with their reading.
Thinking of you all, Olivia Smith
Hola estudiantes de Luther Burbank, Esperamos que usted y su familia estén sanos y saludables. A medida que continúen en su hogar, los animamos a construir y usar algunos de estos objetos sensoriales que se enumeran a continuación. Estas son algunas excelentes maneras de construir algo con nuestras familias y también poder usarlo en el futuro para mejorar nuestros sentidos. ¡Déjenos saber cuál de estos objetos sensoriales de creó! Contenedor sensorial: Los contenedores sensoriales, o cualquier contenedor lleno de objetos que estimulen nuestros sentidos y ofrezcan una actividad relajante, se pueden hacer llenando un contenedor con objetos como frijoles secos, arroz, pasta y bolas de algodón, por ejemplo. ¡Puedes agregar herramientas como tazas de medir y palas! Slime: Hay muchas maneras de hacer "slime" (ya sabes la cosa pegajosa que a los niños les gusta). Una receta fácil es poner una clara de huevo en un tazón, revolverla y mezclarla con un poco de jabón para platos, luego refrigerar durante 10 horas. Haga clic aquí para obtener más recetas de slime con ingredientes caseros→https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p1z7ZrTf0c Botella sensorial: Llena una botella de agua con artículos pequeños como arroz, frijoles, semillas, chispas, arena o rocas para hacer diferentes sonidos. También puede usar materiales como cuentas, brillantina y canicas; luego agregue agua, unas gotas de glicerina y no se olvide de poner superpegamento en el borde para sellar la tapa. Una vez que haya creado su botella sensorial, concéntrese en el movimiento interior. ¿Qué hay en la bolsa?:
Un juego divertido que es fácil de configurar en cuestión de minutos es "¿Qué hay en la bolsa?". Pide a tus padres que consigan algunas bolsas de papel marrón y que pongan algunos objetos dentro de ellas. Los objetos pueden ser cualquier cosa: bolas de algodón, juguetes, cereales, clips de papel, etc. Traten de elegir algunos objetos "fáciles" y algunos "difíciles". Una vez que los objetos estén dentro de la bolsa, intenta adivinar lo que hay dentro sin mirar. Puede comenzar sacudiendo la bolsa, aplastándola y levantándola. Luego puedes meter la mano dentro y sentir los objetos. ¡Tus padres pueden darte pistas! |
