Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.
Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.
Read and write every day! Record the title of the book/text and the pages read each day in your learning log.
Hopefully you’ve been reading a lot during this time. Books, poetry, articles...it’s all good reading! Perhaps you are finishing up a book this week or you’re starting a new one - the most important thing to remember is that a good book is like a good “buddy.”
Spend time each day this week filling in a reading log (in addition to your learning log). This reading log will contain information for every book you have read this school year, this includes your at-home learning time.
The reading log should have five columns
