Supporting Learning

It is great to be reunited with my returning students and I am enjoying getting to know my new students. Now that students are settling into school routines, families are searching for activities and resources that can be used to support learning.
There are many ways to extend learning outside of the classroom. Reading and writing every day at home helps to strengthen literacy skills. Encourage your child to read to you as you prepare meals, utilize audio books and read bedtime stories. Creating shopping lists, writing in diaries or journals, sending postcards, email, writing letters and labelling art work are some writing activities that can be done at home.
Below is a link to resources that you may find helpful:

Teachers and families can support students both in and out of the classroom!
