In an effort to support teachers and families during the statewide closure of all NC public schools, the NCDPI Office of Early Learning team created several resource pages focused on Birth - 2nd Grade.  These resources are available on the OEL Google Site.  We would like to thank DHHS and DCDEE for their collaboration and support with this effort. 

Our Remote Learning page provides weekly learning activities that do not require technology and are aligned to NC standards. Resources are organized by age and grade level.  Weekly resources will continue to be added to this page.  

Our Digital Remote Learning page provides a library of free digital resources appropriate for our early learners and their families. Links to podcasts, virtual libraries, and fun learning websites and apps can be found here.  

We also have a page dedicated to discussing the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic with children and a page of tips for parents who suddenly have found themselves schooling from home.  

The NCDPI OEL team will continue to add activities, resources, and ideas to these pages often.  We hope that you find these resources helpful and welcome you to share them with families and colleagues.  As always, please feel free to contact us if you need our support.  Thank you for all that you do to serve NC students, especially during this challenging time.

Best in Health,

The Office of Early Learning Team
