By Norah K. Mason, M.Ed.

Dear Families:

I  teach preschool special education and I love and miss my students terribly! I wanted to collect the videos I’ve made over the years, many during the pandemic, and share them here with my students’ families, the students in my school and district, and anyone else who stumbles upon this info.

Shared here are the list of videos I’ve created thus far as well as some I find fun and relevant for early learners. Most of the different groups of videos are for the kids directly, but some are meant for parents/guardians to give you ideas of lessons for your children.

I have some other ideas I will be filming, and this Padlet will be updated automatically with new videos and things I share. I am writing this intro at the start of what might be the weirdest school year ever, 2020-2021, due to the pandemic. I will create and link to more resources, working with my colleagues and families to develop ideas, and share them here. I hope this is a collection of resources you come back to and use again and again. Please feel free to share the link with others!

Stay safe!

Best wishes,

Norah

P.S. thank you to my awesome husband for filming or starring in so many of these!

Inquiry for parents/guardians. These are some ideas about the kinds of open-ended questions we ask in the classroom and how you can do this at home. This is perhaps even MORE important for kids who are just emerging verbally. You can ask them questions, even if they are not able to verbally respond, to support their language skills.

Video breaks. These are little clips of events or places that I’ve taken over the years. I hope you enjoy! You can ask your kids about what they are seeing in these videos, what they like, have they ever seen anything like this in person, etc. Some of the parks are local to the Cleveland area.

Storytime. I read a few of my favorite children’s books that I had at home. I feel SO awkward reading without kids around me, and my reading to the camera seems a little odd, but still fun, I hope. I do take comfort that late/night talk show hosts like Stephen Colbert say it is weird doing the show from their houses without an audience. I miss my “audience”  in so many ways!

Stay healthy! Here are the videos on washing hands and covering coughs/sneezes as well as me saying hi from shelter-at-home.

As you talk to your kids about these videos: ask them to show you how to wash hands properly, have a fake sneezing/coughing contest to show where to sneeze/cough, and ask them/talk about the things that you all love doing together at home.

Hello from inside our house (recognizing how isolating this is):

The Physical Education teacher at our school had a fun night for families with glow-in-the-dark Cardio Drumming (shout out to Ms. T) that was my introduction to this. Here are some videos you can try at home. The usual setup is a yoga ball in a laundry basket with drum sticks, but you could swap pool noodles cut in half or use your hands as drumsticks. You could also just balance a playground ball on your lap and tap on that. Fun!
