Keystone's Online Classes are LIVE! (COVID-19 Response)



March 27, 2020


Dear Students and Parents,


We are finishing our second week of online classes for our Spring semester, and our students, staff, and teachers have really embraced the challenge.  I’m so proud of their efforts! To help those of you who may not be part of our current program, below are some suggestions for students of all ages (and parents too!) who may be looking for more resources.


To Do List for Students


This is your chance to learn how to study independently. I encourage you to keep a regular study schedule. In addition, there are some quality websites that make online learning more meaningful. Here are my suggestions:


Get up at a reasonable time.  9:00 am (Yes, it’s not that early!)  


Schedule your day to include at least 30 minutes of each of your regular school subjects.  Read a few pages, take notes, answer questions. You'll need to learn it sooner than later. If your teachers at school haven’t given you much work, it’s even more important that you keep up.  Knowledge is power!


Visit the Walnut Valley Unified School District online website.

You should explore both the academic resources tab. It links to some of your current subjects and other resources. The online resources tab has some good links.  I particularly like the virtual tours of 12 famous museums and the national parks. The audible stories section has some good books if your eyes are too tired to read.


Here are some others that I particularly like.

Free online courses from famous universities like MIT and Harvard.  High school students...take a look at the choices and give one a try.

http://www.npr.org

National Public Radio website is a good resource. Look at the top to click on news about art, life, music and daily news.  There are also audio files that read the news or other topics.

http://www.typing.com

Learn to type correctly.  Put your fingers in the right place.  Practice daily.

http://www.ldoceonline.com

Longman online dictionary has definitions for all different uses of a word and sentence examples.  Remember to scroll down to the bottom of the page. 

http://www.khanacademy.org

Watch some math videos.  Do the practice.  Look in your school textbook to see what you would be learning if you were in school right now.


We’ll keep you updated with new developments for our plan for more online classes and summer options.


Be safe and healthy!

亲爱的各位Keystone家长, 根据美国最新数据,虽然学生已重回校园,但疫情停课仍导致数学与阅读学力平均落后4-5个月,若要追上疫情爆发前的表现,学者估计还需要几年时间,对中学生来说,甚至需要5年以上阅读与数学冲击大!美最新研究:疫情导致学习滑落,至少5年才能弭平。 根据美国2021年3月史丹佛大学教育研究所教授Dr. Ben Dominguez针对一到四年级学生的评估发现,疫情期间,二到三年级
