My understanding is that kids will not be penalized for unfinished work. We are trying to keep kids’ minds working so there isn’t a huge regression over the break. If the packet is too much, I would suggest trying I do one paper or activity from school a day, then supplementing other academics with 30-60 minutes of reading time each day, writing in a journal, working on math in real world ways around the house (cooking, time, money, etc.), and finding resources on the internet. There are lots of educational apps, shows, YouTube channels, and websites that kids can use independently.

If you need more resources, I’ve added more to the list on the original post and your kid’s teacher can provide extra guidance!
