Learning at Home

Hi Families,

Yesterday, a system-wide email was sent through SchoolMessenger (see below) providing familiar with interim K-6 resources and activities to engage in for the time PRIOR to the scheduled spring break:

Suggestions for Learning from Home | K-9
Class cancellations are unusual and challenging events.  During this short period before spring break, we encourage families to maintain a balanced and consistent routine for children; including regular sleeping and eating times, breaks for activity and outdoor time, and healthy boundaries on screen time.   
After spring break, additional learning resources and activities will be shared to support students in learning.    

Children are naturally curious learners and there are opportunities at home to engage their learning. We have created a webpage that offers a variety of educational ideas to support literacy, numeracy and wellness at home for this week. The resources are meant as suggestions only. You may choose to use the links and activities as needed over the next few days as more long-term educational programming is considered.

Also, this web page: http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/lakebonavista/teaching-learning/learning-commons-library/resource-list/pages/default.aspx will be updated regularly and is a good resource for commonly used web-based resources.

If you are not registered to receive SchoolMessenger, you may want to consider visiting the CBE website and enrolling, as this is a key point of communication for system and school based messages: https://www.cbe.ab.ca/privacy-statement/Pages/sms-text-message-terms-and-conditions.aspx

Last, I will be emailing all families with student login information for websites that are commonly accessed in the classroom, and may be needed for POST Spring break access to resources.

Hope you are all staying safe and healthy! You are missed!

Ms. Thomas
