Back to School Teacher Resources: Prek- Grade 5

With the last few weeks left in the school holiday calendar, you must be wondering what this school year might be like. We all know that this school year will be unlike the set pattern that has been followed over decades.

Virtual learning, online schooling might continue, and there could be minimal interaction between the teachers and children.

For schools which have opened, and kids need to be there in-person, students will have to re-adjust to school life and routine. Besides, each of them may have had a different experience with the Covid-19 pandemic. Some students might be apprehensive about returning to school, while others might be eager to get back to school.

In any case, to make them feel welcomed, get them engaged with stories, books, activities, routine work might seem a task that can fill your mind.

You may be wondering like most teachers:

  • How to engage them? What assignments can I start with? Should I create worksheets, online quizzes or classroom discussions?
  • How will the class look like when kids return? Especially for younger children, the sudden shift from distance learning to traditional instruction could be especially jarring.
  • What books and resources will I need? Will I still need digital resources? Since last year, kids have been familiar with distance learning, but they might need to shift to a hybrid learning model once the school reopens.
  • Is there a one-click solution available for resources without having to hunt online for hours?
  • Can I rejuvenate for a new school day without spending hours in front of the computer? Can I switch OFF my teacher brain and enjoy the rest of the holidays?

Here is the good news! I’ve got something extra special for you that will take care of your worries and can get started right away.
