June 8 - 12 : Level 2 - Suggested Activities
* If your child is attending school this week we will work on these activities at school.
Please see agenda page at end of Tuesday showing what they have finished, and what
they could still work on at home for the rest of the week.
If you feel like you can tackle level two this week, here are some suggested activities.
* This work should take between 60 - 80 minutes per day.
* Please spread this work out over multiple days, or even spread it out over different times of the day if that works for you.
* If it is taking longer, and your child is stressed, please don’t push it. You judge what they can do.
*Please be kind to yourself.
There is absolutely no expectation from us
to complete everything (or anything!)*

doing one per week.

more, have them do some countries of the world that interest them.
2. Encourage your child to continue writing to us. We love hearing about
what they are doing!
* Some students are writing emails to us, and others are writing on paper
and their parents are taking a photo of it and emailing it to us.

Math

facts they need to know to do more difficult math. It is important to do this weekly
