Dear Parents and Students,
|
We continue to be so proud of all of our students through our distance learning time. We recognize it is not easy to keep up the momentum of work when our routines are so different. We had no idea when we broke for the March break that we would not be returning for the remainder of this school this year.
You were asked to check your emails last Friday, June 5th for a scheduled time and instructions for retrieving your child’s personal belongings from the school. We have already gathered what we could and have left your child’s personal items labelled and on their desks. Any unmarked indoor shoes have been left above your child’s cubby area. **Please double check your google meet times this week. ** We have updated our Learning at Home slides for this week. Please continue to send pictures of student work to your teacher’s email if you are able. docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xlFQC2jIKcX7VmxTLVxlWmL3pZBe9YQ82N0kxq4A-OE/edit?usp=sharing Here is the link to the printables (printing is optional and only for families who prefer this method): docs.google.com/document/d/10i10KoRBsLQ2spsbkqEWcacmYmEBqq1wvqnphNmc1W4/edit?usp=sharing For this week’s Google Meet, we will be sharing designs we make with different shapes and colours and how these designs represent stories from our lives. The children are asked to read/listen to the story, “Sharing Our Stories” by Melissa Purcell. We hope that this story, as well as our work on symmetry will inspire creative and meaningful designs that depict stories from the children’s experiences. Please check your email for the link to your class Google Meet.

We hope that everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather again this weekend. Last week we found out that schools will not open back up this year. This news makes us all very sad because we miss every one of you very much. As much as we want to see you all, we know that it is important for each of us to stay healthy and safe. Thankfully we can still see your smiling faces each week for our Google Meets. :) You have all been working very hard on the work we send each week, and we are very proud of you. We have more fun activities for you to do at home this week as you keep on learning. Keep up the great work!
