To encourage learning while school is not in session the following are recommended:
Access DOJO for online learning resources and information from your child's teacher
Ensure your child's participates in daily practice for reading, math, number sense, and writing. For fun ways to incorporate these at home try having your child cook in the kitchen with you (reading the recipe, discussing measurements and measuring the ingredients assist with reading and math skills), to practice writing skills have your child write letters to family or friends this also helps keep them connected during this time of social isolation.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Allow your child to record themselves reading a book. Send this recording to a grandparent or family friend who may be social distancing alone to brighten their day.
