Dear parents and students,
We are working hard as a grade 4 team to support your home learning. We are trying to focus on the essentials in literacy and math, but there are additional resources available for science and social as well here on our website. We recommend students spend at least an hour on literacy and at least 45 minutes on numeracy each day. The activities below can support this time. Students can also view fun activities that were prepared by CES staff. Go to teacher pages and then scroll down to the Home-Based Learning section. You may want to review the documents here if you haven't had the chance as they provide a wealth of at-home activities that can apply to multiple ages. Anything your student completes can be shared with their teacher through seesaw with either a picture or a video.
If you have questions or need additional resources you can contact your teacher through email, seesaw, etc. Contact information is posted below.
