Welcome!

Dear Division 4 Families,

These past few weeks have brought an abundance of changes and challenges, and while school will look different for the time being, I hope that we can work together to find a system that works for us all. While I do not know how long we will be participating in online learning for, I will work towards continuing to support your child’s learning in a new platform which continues to address their needs and maintains their progression with goals. This is a unique situation which we will need to navigate together, please bear with me as I work to upload content and activities!

Looking forward, on Monday April 6th, I will post new spelling words for the class to maintain our routine. Each Monday, I will upload spelling words and the corresponding “activity” for Grade 1’s and Grade 2’s (we’ll be starting week 24 words). If you know that your child is on a separate spelling list, please check your email for their list of words. Please practice the new spelling words with your child as usual, and conduct a spelling test with them either on Friday or the following Monday (or any day that works best for you and your family). Usually the activity is completed as a station in Daily 5 in our classroom, at home you can either have your child complete it independently, or you can review it with your child. With regards to other subjects, I will post relevant activities and worksheets (these will be posted soon).

I will post activities, links to resources and worksheets where possible, however if you do not have access to a printer, or cannot partake in an activity that I have posted on this site, please just skip it. I will try to post a range of activities, so that if you do not have access to a printer or cannot partake in a certain activity, there will be other options. 

I will connect with each family starting today and over the next couple of days, however if you have any questions at any point, please do not hesitate to contact me at ciara.chin@burnabyschools.ca

Thank you,

Ms. Chin
