*Please note: Students are encouraged to read 15-20 minutes/day in addition to the activities outlined below. This can be done using books or magazines that you have at home, RAZ kids, Epic or Tumblebooks etc.
Please note: I am following the guidelines set out by our District Superintendant, Sylvia Russel. The activities I am offering are ‘learning opportunities’. Please feel free to use my weekly suggestions as you see fit.
'Kindergarten-Grade 3 planning will focus on language and literacy as well as numeracy from the provincial curriculum; an average of five to seven hours of learning opportunities per student per week'. So, that would equal approximately 1- 1.5 hours/day.
