ESD 112 staff are currently reviewing and vetting resources others have created that families might use to support learning at home.

These are some of our STEM staff’s recommended resources:

MATH

Our Math Coordinator, Molly Daley leads the Math Anywhere project.

  • The Math Anywhere website has videos and resources that families can use to support their math learners.
  • She also recommends this resource that was compiled by a highly regarded math educator using free resources.

SCIENCE

Our Business and Community Engagement Coordinator, Chad Mullen, has provided the following links to support science learning with our earliest learners.

  •  Cedar Mat Weaving (with a paper option) – from Washington State’s ‘Since Time Immemorial’/Tribal Sovereignty curriculum
  •  Sit Spots – children pick a spot outdoors and sit quietly for a few minutes observing the natural world around them, then return to the SAME spot over time to observe changes and patterns
  • Plant Growth – children ‘plant’ seeds in a clear cup or plastic bag and monitor growth
  • Tree Bark Rubbings – crayons and paper and trees – great combo!
  • Nature Scavenger Hunt – I like the ‘something in your favorite color’ entry!

We will continue to vet and provide resources to support all learners at home, so check back here for updates!
