Hello Moms, Dads and kids,
We hope you have had some rest from online learning and are ready to master this task that life has thrown at us. Ms. Benjamin and I are ready to do our best. Our super power is teaching and we will carry on with that. To do this more effectively we will be doing live teaching sessions according to a scheduled plan. If you cannot join in on one of these session, we will make the materials that was used in that session available for use at your convenience.
The goal of having a schedule like this is for the kids to have the opportunity to interact with us and their peers and engage in learning with the teacher so that questions and misconceptions can be addressed immediately. It also allows the teacher to take on more of the teaching of new concepts and free up the parents to do their own work from home.
