Dear Parents, 

Click on the google slides link below for this week's learning activities. Please remember that the guidelines for each day are only suggestions, feel free
to work at your own pace (and make it work with your schedule). If you have any questions or troubles, please email your child’s teacher for help.


On Friday, May 1st each class will have a Google Meet, so students can see each other and their teacher to say hello. The link will be emailed to you 10
minutes before the scheduled meet, so you are able to log on. It can be quite difficult if everyone is trying to speak at once, so please help your child
mute themselves, and they can unmute when called upon. We will be doing a short Show and Tell. If your child would like to share something special from home (i.e., a creative project, a pet, a special toy etc.) they will have a minute to explain it to their class. If your child would just like to be present and not share anything, that is fine too! 

Here are the Google Meet times for Friday, May 1st: (approximately 30 minutes)
Mrs. Bourassa- 10:30 am - 11:00 am 
Miss DiNardo- 10:30 am - 11:00 am 
Miss Kralik- 11:30am - 12:00 pm 

Once again, thank you for your continued support through this difficult time. We hope to be back at school soon!

Dear Parents, 


It was wonderful to see so many of our students at our Google Meet on Friday.  Thank you for all
your efforts to support your children. We truly appreciate everything that you are doing at home.  

This week our math worksheets are from the Teachers Pay Teachers website.  The worksheets
are free but we are unable to post them on our website due to copyright rules.  In order to
access the worksheets, parents will need to sign up for a free account. You can access the
website by following this link:
We realize that this requires an additional step, but these worksheets will provide students with
practice adding canadian coins in an easy to follow format. 

Another great website you may want to access is Dreambox Math.  It is an excellent resource
and it is currently free for families.  The program is intuitive and will increase the difficulty of
tasks as your child progresses. For this reason, please ensure that you make an account for each
child in your family.  If an older child plays on a younger child’s account and answers questions
correctly, the program will increase the difficulty of the questions. You can set up an account
here: https://www.dreambox.com/canada

for help.

news and see pictures of what our students are doing at home.

Hello everyone!  I hope you are all well and are finding lots of fun things to do while we are apart from one another.  While school is out, I will send an email and post the link here for learning activities for each week.  Do what you can, when you can.  I hope that my links work.  If you have any difficulty, please email me to let me know.  I miss you all and I am looking forward to seeing you  again soon.  I know you will have lots of great stories to share about all the things you are doing at home!
