Dear families,
I know it may be difficult to know exactly how much you should help your children when they are doing writing activities at home.
*Remember: our goal is to support our students … not to give them all the answers/spelling.
*Also, please remember: all of the students are at different levels in their writing!
Please click on the tab below to get a few tips on how to support your children when they are working on writing activities at home.
Watch Ms.Brown and her daughter Olivia play the “Strike Out” math game, and try it at home

I hope you enjoyed the story “Be Kind” by Pat Zietlow.
- Answer the follow up questions to the story.
List 2 or 3 examples of kind actions that were discussed in the book
Tip: you can always listen to the story again and pause on certain pages to remember - What happened to Tanisha at the beginning of the story?
- What kind action did the girl do in the story to make Tanisha feel better?
- Tell me about 2 or 3 kind actions you have done to fill someone’s bucket Example: help your parents with cleaning, play with your baby sister, play with a kid who was lonely, give someone a compliment ….
- Share any comments or connections you had to the story …. Ms. Yaz would love to hear your ideas 😊
Every week I will be putting up 2-word work activities on the blog. I have added the instructions and an example for the first week.
- Click on the images to enlarge and print
(remember if you do not have a printer you can write it out on a paper) - Read the scrambled words
- Put them in the correct order to make a sentence
- Remember our writing conventions: Always start your sentence with a capital and end with a period.
- Draw a picture to match the sentence
Example: My dog has spots.
If you printed the page, draw spots on the dog and colour. If you are writing on your own paper, draw a dog with spots on it!
Challenge: write your own similar sentence. Think of an animal and tell me something about it!
Example: My cat has strips. OR My fish is blue. OR My monkey is brown and has a long tail.
I have added some math worksheets for students to practice their numeracy skills
Please note:
- Students are not required to do all the worksheets. They are there for extra practice.
- I have leveled them: level 1 and level 2
- Please remember: Students are all at different developmental levels in their math skills – please meet your child where they are.
- Please support your child to do the appropriate worksheet that is at their ability level.
- It is better to begin at an easier level, and slowly move up to a more challenging level – this will allow them to feel confident and this will foster a love for math!
- Please remember: at school students are encouraged to use their fingers and counters to get the correct answer
- The more we practice numeracy skills – the better we get
