[quote=Anonymous]My kindergartener is doing distance learning with a private international school (we are based overseas) and I think they’ve been doing a great job. Yes, it’s more screens than I would like under normal circumstances, but given the situation, what can you do? Her primary teacher provides a video each morning where she talks to the class and goes through their typical morning meeting routine and then discusses the overall schedule for the day. Then for each day there  are 5-6 segments with a mix of art/math/physical activity/reading/Writing/foreign language  study etc. Each segment has a short video introduction/lesson by the appropriate teacher, followed by a mix of  related written/drawing/app based interactive assignments  for them to complete at home. Some fun songs and stories are also included each day.?We post each completed project/assignment for feedback from the teacher or occasionally to share with the whole class. Additionally there are 3 zoom meetings per week- one individually for us/our child and her teachers, one in a small peer group, and one with the whole class. it does require a lot of parent oversight and involvement which is a little tough since spouse and I are both still working from home, but not sure how you get around that at this age.[/quote]
