Some More Ideas for Learning

Please don't forget to log into Hapara through the student portal and complete the assessments and reading logs that are on the right side of the page. I will be checking the reading logs daily and leaving little "stickers" for students.

The Grade 3’s have been working with Sterling Park Retirement demonstrating the Gospel Value of Love. If your child (from any grade) would like to take the time to draw a picture or write a letter to one of the residents, I think it would really brighten their day. Your child can write or type a note of positive encouragement or tell a story about what they have been doing while they have been home. Share their work with me through Google, or take a photo or scan their letter and send it to me at Jennifer.alexander@ocsb.ca  I will print them off and deliver them to the residence. Thanks for sharing love and kindness during this stressful time.

• Basic math skills such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing is always encouraged. We have spent many lessons exploring why and when we use one of these skills. Now, we all have the time to practice using these skills. Practice and more practice will improve mental recall and efficiency in solving a multi-step problem.

• Have spelling tests with these Grade 3 commonly misspelled words.

Please continue to check this blog regularly as a means of keeping in touch and informed. As time goes on, we may use different systems and programs to provide more detailed lessons. I will continue to post any information to assist you to get into these programs.

Stay safe and remember to love one another even if we have been stuck in the same spaces for so long.
