Dear Parents and Students,
I hope you are all doing well and staying safe and healthy.
Please continue to check the classroom blog for important updates related to classwork. For the most up-to-date information about the operation of schools, please check the school website.
As per the e-mail you should have received from Saddle Ridge yesterday, CBE has put together an educational webpage that offers a variety of ideas and resources to support literacy, numeracy, and wellness at home. Here is the link to that page again:
Also, remember, reading daily for at least 30 minutes is the single most important piece of “homework” students at this age can do! Raz-Kids is a great place to read a variety of books online! The CBE webpage of resources also provides a username and pin to access even more books through the Calgary Public Library resources, Tumblebooks, Starfall and more!
In addition, if your child would like to work on their science-waste project (which is on Google Slides) – they are more than welcome to!
Also, don’t forget, there’s always Prodigy to practice your math! This is also a great time to make sure each kid knows their math facts (up to 9x9 at least)!
Also, you can remind your kids to continue to do their home writing while they are at home. Write a journal entry daily, do a reader’s response or do a free write. Remember, if your child does not have their home writing book with them, they can also write on any paper, or even on Google Docs! Just remember to share with me at nohussain@educbe.ca. To get them started, tell your child to be on the lookout (in their Google Drive) for a special letter from Mrs. Hussain – their first entry can be a response to me!
Remember, we will have more information to share after the March break. In the meantime, please keep informed by staying current with the class and school blogs.
Thank you and have a wonderful break!
Mrs. Hussain
