We have finished reading our way across Canada - what a huge country we live in!
Little learners can lose some serious ground over school breaks thanks to the dreaded summer slide! Consider the following tips to help keep the mind powered up!!
- READ with your child and develop a life long reader.
- TALK is the best thing a parent can do with their child
- DISCUSS while reading what is happening in the story - say, "This part remind me of..." ask, "What are you thinking will happen next?"
- PLAY games that promote strategy - think Checkers, UNO, Sorry
- USE audio books in the car on road trips
- CREATE a space in the house just for reading
- MEASURE together in the kitchen - 2 tablespoons or 1/2 cup or 6 forks
- GO outside
The Calgary Public Library is free and they have many great resources available for children. Your library card will give you access to Tumblebooks, Bookflix and Kanopy to name a few.
Raz-kids, Mathletics, and Prodigy memberships remain available to you -
Our walking field trip to Confluence Park will be tomorrow - Tuesday, June 28. We will leave the school first thing in the morning and return in time for lunch. Please have a backpack with water and an energizing snack!
Tomorrow at 1:00 pm is our final assembly and you are all invited. We will recognize our June Pillars of Care winners and acknowledge all the people who will be leaving us over the summer.
Congratulations to our winners, Noah, Numan, Youssef, Saud and Ryleigh
