1.  Because I know many of you do not have access to a printer, I am not going to be sending things your way that requires any printing.  Since I can't hand out packets of printed materials to you, much of the work will be online.  There are several "unplugged" activities that your child can do around the house that is on the attached gameboard (check out the changes).
2. About writing and how much a child should do a day.  That is a tricky one as we do about 30-40 minutes of writing a day just during writing time, but they practice writing throughout the day.  I would say the goal would be about 30 minutes of writing a day, but do writing at your discretion.  If they are getting antsy, let them take a break and they can pick it up another time or another day.  There are activities on the gameboard that include writing, so you can just have your child do that activities for as long as they can be focused.  I have also attached "Kindergarten Resources" that might help with reading and writing questions and what you can do.
3. EBooks:  There are several websites that help with books online.  Headsprout actually has books once they pass several of the phonics lessons.  I'm not sure what level they add the book resource room link.  Also, in the Kindergarten Resource attachment, you will find some online books you can use.  https://blog.reallygoodstuff.com/11-free-reading-websites-for-kids/ is a website where you can find free reading websites as well.
4. Specialists:  The specialists have collaborated together to create one newsletter for all specialists to make it easier for you and to reduce the amount of emails you are receiving.  Here is the link:   https://sway.office.com/YzHStfNcYyF1asDE?ref=Link
5. About laptop computers or devices from the district, if you have contacted me about that, I have sent an email to Christy Otley to let her know about this as the district instructed me.  Also, here is the process and information of being able to receive the laptops from the district:

1. Families must call one of the numbers and talk with a staff person to sign up for a computer. (see the copy of the ISD webpage below).
2. Families will be told what day and location to pick up a computer.

Families cannot just show up to pick up a computer, each computer is configured in advance for the specific student(s) to be able to log in.  We have the capacity to configure about 100 computers per day so we are now experiencing a couple days between families requesting the computer and being able to pick up their computer.
