Build a robot class
#Spring20Lessons
Aiden is going to take an other Outschool class. I’m having luck balancing this with other content. They have a class to build a robot - $65 for the class and $20 for the kit. Thursday at 10 for the next 4 weeks. Nearly an hour.?

Nice! Looks fun. Thanks for sharing,?Betsy. I just ordered the kit with?priority shipping, so hoping it will arrive in time for this session. If timing doesn't work out, we'll?probably enroll in the next one as a fallback. Regardless, we can still coordinate some virtual robot play/sharing.

Re: Communication from Summer Camps?
#SummerLearning
We heard from the Zoo that they are piloting a virtual camp.? But I'm not sure that's going to work for us.
Outschool has been a winner for me so far, and I'm going to look at their "summer camps" at least through mid-June. Somewhere in there we will hopefully be able to do some vacation.? If anyone wants to share plan with me, that would be awesome.?? |

We heard from Dimond Rec and they are canceling camps week by week and offering credit to account or full refund.

What Learning Apps Do You Use
#Resources
Hi Parents - what learning apps/games have you had good experiences with? We have been limiting iPad time to RAZ Kids and ST Math. We have a sight words app and Khan Academy, but feel lukewarm on them. Thanks!

Did you guys end up doing the robot building course? How was it? Nora is interested but her key question is, "what does the robot do?" Thanks!

开云体育?Yes, today will be session 3 of 4, and so far so good. It feels more advanced than expected, but I see it as a positive challenge. They’ve learned about electricity, batteries, switches, leds, and motors. There are 5 kids. The “robot” is a 8-legged spider that mimics the movement of a real spider.? ___ Ben Yee On May 27, 2020, at 9:09 PM, rebecca.farivar@... wrote:

We did. It needs a lot of help from the adult for this house. Not my favorite.? ? |
Camp Kinda - Free Virtual Camp
#SummerLearning
We just signed up for this camp that we learned about from a fellow 2nd grade parent. I don't know how it works and am not setting any expectations. It's free virtual camp, so we'll see how next week works out.
Starting on May 31, you’ll get a weekly email from us on Sunday with a link to the week’s activities. We’ll also let you know what supplies your kids will need over the course of the week (we’ll keep it simple, we promise) and offer a suggested family activity connected to the week’s theme, along with a few other things just for parents and caregivers. You can review the week’s activities and decide what you’d like your kids to do when—or just share the link with them and go back to your coffee. And you can always view any previous weeks’ activities at?. During the week, your kids will get 3-4 hours’ worth of activities each day. They’ll use the Camp Kinda website to go through them. Some will be online, like watching a short documentary, while others will be offline, like creating their own secret code system. Most will be best for kids in grades 3-8, but we’ll also offer simpler options for younger campers where appropriate. Each day’s activities are carefully curated by teachers and other experts who know how kids think and are passionate about their topic. Camp Kinda is built to be flexible and fun, so there’s no wrong way to do it. Pick and choose activities here and there, follow the whole week’s agenda in order, do some days but not others; whatever works best for your family. Your child may not love every week’s theme, but we bet they’ll find something interesting in most of them—and even a couple hours of Camp Kinda is better than video games all day long. And who knows? Maybe they’ll discover something they’re wild about along the way. Questions? Feel free to email us at?campkinda@.... |

Good to know! I’m no sure how she’ll feel about a spider. She was hoping for a unicorn robot ?

What are you hearing?
#FallOptions
Hey folks,
With LA and San Diego's news this AM, and reading OEA's stance on safety, my tea leaves say we want to be planning for a fully remote fall.? I know there might be some scarcity feelings around resources for those (like us) who aren't prepared to handle another semester of being a teacher for a kid who struggles with distance learning.? ?We've been talking to the Farivar's about a shared tutor option (but keeping it super small because pod/safety/etc.), and I'm sure others are investigating how they can support this going ahead.? EVERY WAY IS A GOOD WAY.? And, I love the idea of hearing how others are thinking of navigating.?? I know that East Bay Dance Center has mentioned it will fill gaps and support remote learning, and I'm hoping folks who hear about similar options.? We are Adventure Time folks, but haven't heard anything yet if they will be able to expand their offering in a safe way. Are other folks willing to share what they learn about options?? ? Thanks in advance, Betsy |

Would be interested in how you are thinking about executing. Unfortunately, we will have a 3rd grader as well and managing two pods/schedules seems daunting...
