[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard several people say (teachers and parents) that their school has provided EVERYTHING including phonics materials. Perhaps it is just your school.  :wink: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math is now so dependent on manipuables in early elementary. I can see how this would be hard to transfer to Zoom. [/quote] Students were giving manipulatives from what I understand. Besides everything is a manipulative. When I was a kid I used buttons and pennies. They are no different than the counters kids use in school. Use what you have at home. We counted snacks at snack time. Get creative and stop complaining about what the teacher is not doing. This was directed towards you specifically PP. It was just a general rant [/quote]

When you say students were given manipulables, what kids do you mean? My PK3 and K DCPSers were not. It’s not that I couldn’t give them things to use, it’s that the teacher can’t — or at least doesn’t — do the same kind of exercises with them virtually. DL for this age group is idiotic. My kids are learning nothing except how to use Teams from DL. And they don’t even really mind it.[/quote][/quote]

Our DCPS gave them math cubes and they use them in virtual classes often. Our school is also big on small groups -- that helped a LOT. My son doodles throughout the large group math class, but small group is actually challenging[/quote]
