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

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 CampKinda.org ( https://ednavigator.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b6932f52073e96f41a2edffa1&id=d62adfa21b&e=cb67397768 ). 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@....

Does anyone want to join Aiden and his pal in a zoom camp next week? https://avid4.com/online/summer-morning-full-week 8:30-11am, live with yoga and music and nature. $99 we have a couple of folks, but they need 3 more to run the session. - b

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!

Curious to hear what communication others have received from summer camps. Have your received notices of them being officially cancelled or are they making alternative arrangements? Nora was signed up for Head Royce summer camp that was going to start mid-June and they are fully cancelled. She's still currently signed up for Cal Explorer Camp that was going to start mid-July and haven't heard anything from them yet. I was poking around on other camp's websites and the few I looked at didn't have anything posted about being cancelled.

Ok. It may kill me, but I’m going to try and take Aiden on a photo scavenger hunt for the birds of Oakland. here’s a doc with the species specific to Oakland Hills (nearby). If I can get him out the door without introducing too many swear words to the vocabulary list, I’ll share how many we found and maybe challenge his classmates to go for a walk — or even just look on the backyard. http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/fire/documents/webcontent/oak042154.pdf alternately, I’ll take a bunch of pictures with him and let’s see if we can identify them. - b

Hey folks, Aiden is begging for some extra attention during work hours, and I’m thinking I might try a couple of Outschool classes this week. There’s a direct drawing class on jellyfish which sounds fun https://outschool.com/classes/lets-draw-together-directed-drawing-through-the-alphabet-j-is-for-jellyfish-30mrovqP?sectionUid=1ad4d9e4-f08e-49f1-b744-a5e02927be2d#usg5Yqfdta anyone else interested in giving it a chance with Aiden? - b

Thanks for joining this online community! This is a volunteer effort and optional way of staying engaged with Room 19/Teacher Yari's Kindergarten Class 2019-2020. Our hope is to support one another through the transition to first grade, both emotionally and academically in whatever way we each need. 1 Be Kind and Courteous We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy disagreement is natural, but kindness and compassion are always required. 2 No Hate Speech or Bullying Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying or attacks of any kind aren't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated. 3 Respect Everyone's Privacy Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the group should stay in the group. Any screenshot, share, or quote content from the community must include explicit permission from the original poster first. 4 No Spam and Easy on Promotion Overt promotional for self-profit, spam, and irrelevant links aren't allowed. As to rule enforcement: at first violation, a poster will be put back to moderation. A subsequent violation will result in removal from the group. Members may report a violation to the admins, and admins make joint determination if there's been a violation. We're all parents in this together, so we hope this doesn't happen.

I just found this visual timer on the iPad that looks like the one they have in class. Aiden responded well to it https://apps.apple.com/us/app/visual-timer/id1392401197

Are any other parents interested in creating a pod, and using OutSchool or some other resource to create some more structured online learning and hopefully with a group of his classmoates? I'm open to ideas/etc., but thinking it might be great to work with 5 other kids to set up something to help us navigate balancing all the things. Aiden needs engagement and direction. I'd love to hear other thoughts, too. I know this won't be for everyone.
