Dear Burbank Family,
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?
