Having access to books and the opportunity to be creative on a daily basis will provide students with motivation to engage in other daily "class" activities during this online learning experience.
We have noticed that even with daily access to online reading resources - students are not able to access certain sites due to lack of technological resources and due to having multiple children in the home. Nothing beats having a book in your hand and being able to come back to it again and again.

While academic progress is important for children, it does not occur without motivation and confidence.

Engaging in art activities also provides emotional support and a way for children to express themselves in different ways. I know they will be very appreciative!
