CANVAS Parent Resources
Because our Canvas courses are online, your assistance at home overseeing your son/daughter's activities and assignments will be a critical component in their success. Helping to make sure appropriate progress is made on lessons, and encouraging and observing them during their assignments each week will help your son or daughter be more successful.
NOTE: As this course has been built from scratch by Mrs. B, (bringing together a lot of wonderful resources) I’m hoping you, the parents, will help me improve this course throughout this year. I’m relying on the wonderful parents to help me find my mistakes, bad links, anything that doesn’t work etc. Additionally, if you find a cool resource you think we could include, please share!! Thank you, in advance, for your assistance! kathy.blakemore@leusd.k12.ca.us
