Therefore, during this time of crisis and difficulty, we are eager to put our expertise and passions to use to try to be of assistance. We initially designed 21 immediate-response packets for K-5, as soon as the pandemic forced schools to shut down. We then applied for and received a grant that has allowed us to create more than 100 full activity packets, ranging from Levels 1-3 of English proficiency, and grades K-12.  The breakdown of packets is as follows: Level 1 – Entry into English  Emphasis on developmentally appropriate interesting/challenging tasks • K-2  • 3-5  • 6-8 with a literacy background • 9-12 with a literacy background  • 6-8 without literacy background • 9-12 without literacy background  Level 2 – Building Background  • K-1  • 2-3 • 4-5  • 6  • 7-8  • 9-10 • 11-12   Level 3 – Interdisciplinary Inquiry  • K-1  • 2-3  • 4-5  • 6  • 7-8  • 9-10  • 11-12   With this letter, is an “Activity Packet” that can be used freely with any group of students or families as you see fit. Each packet includes interdisciplinary activities designed to be completed within a week. Teachers from around the country have designed, developed, and created these packets, each focusing on the topics of their choice. Because learning academic content can happen within any thematic context, these packets are designed to be diverse, dynamic, and engaging for students of all backgrounds. The topics covered in these units range from cultures, animals, natural disasters, inventions, and much more. You will see each teacher’s personality reflected strongly in these packets, and our hope is that this will capture students in a way similar to that of a rich and immersive classroom environment.    3          International Consortium for Multilingual Excellence in Education   Our hope is that these materials can provide some meaningful learning supports to students and families who may not have access to online learning opportunities. However, we can also imagine a variety of ways that these packets can provide learning opportunities outside of our original intent and purpose. Please use these activity packets in any way you see fit for your students and families. We will be so pleased to learn of how they might be useful, particularly for your multilingual students and their families. We think it might be particularly helpful for you to print packets and mail them to families, but we also see opportunities to work with local agencies, leave printed-out packets for pick-ups at schools, etc.  We designed these activities based around several big ideas: - Productive play and inquiry - Grade level and English Language Development standards/curriculum - Fostering multilingual language development  - Providing opportunity for all four language domains (reading, writing, speaking and listening)  These packets are self-contained. Everything a child will need to be successful with the activities is provided in the packet. Students will only need a writing utensil. Additional tools like crayons or scissors are optional.  We have also included a letter to parents. We hope this will help parents understand what students will be doing with the packet and that we encourage the use of all language resources available to the student. The packets are in English for the students, but the students can write, talk and engage with family members regarding the packet activities in any language they would like. We have translated the parent letter into Spanish, and we encourage districts to translate the letter into any other language that would be helpful for your local families.  Designing Activity Packets is a new initiative for us, though we have been designing professional learning opportunities (eWorkshops) for teachers of multilingual learners since 2011. Like our Activity Packets, those learning opportunities for teachers are free. To learn more about them and us, please visit our website at: https://cehs.unl.edu/icmee/  We are eager to be a helpful, collaborative partner in all learning needs related to multilingual students and their teachers, so please, do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions, ideas, concerns, feedback, etc. We are available at icmee@unl.edu.   Sincerely,     Kara Mitchell Viesca, PhD Associate Professor of Language Education University of Nebraska Lincoln Teaching, Learning and Teacher Education PI: International Consortium for Multilingual Excellence in Education   This packet was designed and created by Lacey Farmer  in collaboration with Tricia Gray, Kara Mitchell Viesca, and Alexa Yunes.    4      The Standards that Informed the Development of this Packet are:  CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.A.1 Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to  CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.A.1 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size  CCSS.Math.Content.K.CC.A.2 Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1)  CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.K.2  Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they are writing about and supply some information about the topic                           5                                               K-1st grade • English Level 2 #1 Theme: Shapes  6                                               International Consortium for Multilingual Excellence in Education   August 15th, 2020 Dear Families:  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the academic classroom expanded into the home in new ways. Many students have limited access to technology, others struggle with online learning, and some simply want more to do while they are at home. With these things in mind, we have created an extensive resource of learning materials that we hope will be helpful for your children to engage with. These Activity Packets were designed with your students in mind and are aligned with each of their grade level content. Each activity in the packets will help students continue with their schooling as well as continue to grow their multilingualism. We encourage you to talk to your student about what they are doing and let your child ask you about the topics they are learning about. The packet is in English, but we encourage you and your children to speak and think together in any language you would like to. We strongly encourage you to use the language you feel most comfortable using with your student. Supporting their learning in all the languages they know is helpful—even for developing their English! So, please encourage your child to do the work in the packet in any language they would like.   We know that families are dealing with a lot of stress and uncertainty right now, so we encourage you to play the role you would like to play with your student and their Activity Packet based on what works best for you. We recommend reading the information about the packet and activities and then discussing with your student how the packet works and how they can work through it. We believe that with that introduction, your student can do a lot, if not all, of the work themselves. However, if you are available to work more closely with your child (or for a sibling or other family member to do so), we encourage that as well. Please know, this is not intended to be something that adds stress and work to your family during this demanding time. We hope that this is a helpful resource so your student can continue growing academically while in unusual situations.  We also hope you will find these packets interesting and fun. We have integrated activities from all of the grade level content standards: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education and Art. We have also developed different packets for the different levels of English proficiency, so your child should feel challenged but also capable of largely understanding the content in front of them.  Kinder-5th grade students will create a Buddy for their packets. This is the first activity in the packets and is intended to give children have someone to talk to about the work they are doing in the packet. We have included images of “buddies” to choose from. Choose a buddy, personalize it, and even name the buddy. Throughout the packet activities, students will be told to talk to their buddy or even to ask their buddy questions. With this buddy, students can work independently without needing your time and attention to be successful with the packet. However, we also encourage your student to talk with you or other family members as they are available. Further, your student could pick a stuffed animal or doll or something else as their buddy. They don’t have to use one of the buddies we offer, but they should plan for who their buddy will be each time they work on the packet. This might be something they will need your help understanding.   7         International Consortium for Multilingual Excellence in Education   In these packets, we have included the following activities:  - Dictionary. Each day we hope that your student will engage with words they find interesting and want to keep track of. We encourage students to use the dictionary activities to keep track of words they learn and find interesting. We also encourage students to use any language they would like as well as pictures to help them remember what the words mean.  - Journal. Students should be encouraged to write in any language (or combination of languages) that they feel most inclined to. They can also use pictures as appropriate. We hope these journal spaces will also be points of conversation for your student with their buddy or with someone in their home.   - Mathematics.  Each day, your student will also have the opportunity to practice early math skills like counting, addition, and subtraction.    - This specific packet focuses on learning basic shapes as well as words to tell location.      We hope that these activities will enhance your child’s learning while we work through these very unusual circumstances. We also hope that they will give your child opportunities for productive play.
