Grace's home learning

Like millions of children across the country and the world, Grace and her friends have faced radical changes to their learning, too. Here is how they are meeting the challenge:

• Having a schedule for e-learning activities to keep up with school assignments.
• Listening to new styles and kinds of music on YouTube and play together on Hangouts and FaceTime when they can.
• Writing letters to friends and family to practice literacy skills and stay in touch.
• Having made lists of subjects and ideas they would like to learn more about during this uncertain time.
