March 25, 2020 from Mrs. Vermeulen

Mrs. Vermeulen wants to share this with you - the link will take you to their homepage.

With schools cancelled across South Dakota, families are now being asked to guide and support their child’s education at home. While there are many resources, apps, and tools available, parents and family members have expressed feeling overwhelmed in their home learning adventures.

The South Dakota Statewide Family Engagement Center (SD SFEC), with the help of the Community, Family, and Special Services Division of Black Hills Special Services Cooperative, is creating a daily, simple and useful tool to help families feel prepared to support their children in learning at home. Each day, SD SFEC shares a Daily Digest. This short guide highlights quick and easy activities and free resources that families can use to engage their children in learning while they are home.

The Daily Digests include virtual tours, ways to celebrate the day, physical activity ideas, online learning opportunities for students, and links to resources for parents and caregivers.

Additionally, SD SFEC is honoring South Dakota with daily lessons about unique locations across the state. The Daily Digests include a Road Trip Across South Dakota section, which features a new stop each day for kids to explore and learn about places in South Dakota, like Badlands National Park and the Dignity statue near Chamberlain.

On another note, this morning with the blog from Mrs. Foxley, I didn't give instructions as to how to get to her web site so sent out a 2nd blog.   For future reference - Go to our web site - www.sanborncentral.com and in the upper right click on menu.  An entire list of available pages will appear (might be surprised what you will find).  Mrs. Foxley's is located under the High School tab.
