Providing students and parents/guardians with a To-Do List allows families to manage their own time and space efficiently. They can see assignments that need to be completed, when they are due and the equipment/materials needed for the week. It also allows quarantined students to still complete their work. Here are some sample checklists:
Sample Elementary To-Do List (Kindergarten) - This is a To-Do List from Caitlin Faughn and her kindergarten team at Mason Ridge used during Distance Learning. She also emails parents a weekly newsletter and the materials needed for the week (below). The materials list is especially helpful for students who are in learning pods.
Sample High School Student To Do List - This was used by me during Parkway’s eLearning period when the student expectations were different. Nevertheless, this checklist communicated to students the assignments and learning objectives for the week. I uploaded this checklist to my Schoology course and emailed it to all students. I also included a video update with my email as another way to connect with her students. Linking the video update into the checklist as well can help students stay organized. Here is a copy of a template to help you get started!
