Great job last week LUESD Family! We are on week 3 Activity 1! When we are able to return to in person instruction, there will be a list of symptoms for you to review with your child. If your child has any of the symptoms, they will need to stay home. Please review this letter thoroughly. Keeping symptomatic individuals home will be an important part of slowing the spread of this virus. Start practicing this review of symptoms before the start of school so the first day is familiar. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/796641/Parent_Guardian_Daily_COVID-19_Health_Screening_Guide.pdf

Activity 5- Take a selfie! Take a picture of your child wearing their mask and ask your family and friends to text pictures of them wearing a mask too. It will help your child build confidence wearing a mask when they see their friends and family also wearing one. Upload it to your facebook with the hashtag #LUESDStrong to be featured on our facebook!

Week 2 of our Practice at Home Series Activity 4 - Print out this coloring book (click on link below) and have your child color the pages. Seeing people wearing masks will help them get prepared for all the masked faces they will see. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/796638/mask_coloring_book.pdf

Week 2 of our Practice at Home Series Activity 3- Play is a great way for a child to learn. Help your child make masks out of paper, tape, or string for their figurines, stuffed animals, and dolls. Then, pretend play "school" by having your masked friends line up, sit in a classroom, and other pretend school activities. This will help your child get use to the idea of others wearing masks around them.
