Families: Some of you have requested a weekly learning plan that can help you organize and schedule your child’s learning. This is just meant to be an outline to help support you as you support your child. Please don’t feel like you need to strictly follow this plan. It simply provides another level of structure to assist you in deciding what activities you might want to attempt each day.
