<p>Ohio has had 5 days in the past, went to 3 days this year. Our district has had 4 days off so far, and most districts around us are many more than that. </p>
<p>The distance learning option is interesting. </p>
<p>In my dream world, here’s what I’d like to see.</p>
<p>K-4
Parents or caregivers home with the child would take the “day off” and do activities together - do an art project and then “show and tell” it when they go back to school, search Itunes and listen to different types of music - make a list of what you listened to and why you liked it or didn’t like it, search for a recipe (reading) and cook it together (math), read a couple of books together (language arts), go out and shovel (physical education.<br>
4-8 grade
If possible, plan ahead of a snow day. The day before teachers should assign extra math problems, additional reading material from a novel they might be reading etc. Then do the above as well - the cooking, music/art, and shoveling on a bigger kid level.</p>
<p>8-12
You know these kids have work they can do! Surely there is a test looming, paper due, SOMETHING! Get ahead and stop procrastinating! Sleep in a bit, then shower and make something of your day! Do a good deed and go shovel a neighbor’s walk. Distance learning or extra assignments should be posted online and updated by teacher’s from home. </p>
<p>See? I told you it was my dream world. :)</p>
