Attention families of K4, K5, 1st, & 2nd grade students: Flat Rock has created a virtual classroom for your little one to explore while at home. ๐ป Our virtual classroom includes activities, videos, games, read-alouds, and practice for reading, math, and phonics! Links are designed to reinforce what your child is learning in the classroom. Is your child learning to speak English? We have a slide for that, too!
Almost every object in our classroom is linked to an external activity. As you hover, wait for the mouse to turn into a "hand" to click. When you're ready to return to the home page, click the orange icon with the white house in the lower right corner of each slide.
Our virtual classroom will work on a laptop, Chromebook, tablet, or cellular device. Make sure if you are using a tablet or phone to click the "play" button to present on the device. โถ๏ธ
We are currently in the process of creating a similar virtual classroom for our upper elementary students as well. Stay tuned! ๐คฉ
