Focus of the Week
Check here for weekly updates on what the focus will be for literacy and numeracy.
The expectation is that teachers are to provide 5 hours of instruction each week starting on Monday, March 30th. The main focus is Numeracy and Literacy, however there will be opportunities for your child to engage in some Science and Social Studies activities.
I will post a video every Monday, or write a brief message below to explain what your child can work on during the week. I will also post extra videos that provide mini lessons and tutorials for how to use materials, and links that I provide.
This is a learning process for us all, so don't hesitate to e-mail me to ask questions.

Students might find it helpful to keep a journal about their day or week. Write about the day's events, feelings, and goals. The great part about keeping a journal, is that you can write what you want! It's your journal!
