Dear Families,

It was lovely to hear from you this week. I am so happy to be able to report that everyone in our class is doing well and is ready to try this online learning journey.

Our counsellor Ms. Camara shared a nice document you might find helpful when talking to your children about what is happening in the world. That is attached for you to look at if you’d like.
Social Emotional Support for Families from Tina Camara

Many of you expressed an interest in having activities to use with your children at home. On the Burnaby School District website there is a list of activities you can be working on with your child if you’d like to. I’m including a link to the Kindergarten page here: https://learning.burnabyschools.ca/kindergarten/ . If you hit ‘back’ from this page you can see the introduction. Or, you can go to the District website and look the information up yourself and read what is written there.

Thank you to the families that have already started their child on EpicBooks https://www.getepic.com/app/my-library/favorites. If you are having trouble with getting access please email me and I will email you the access code.

I have been busy creating activities for next week, I will have that out Monday morning. I am also trying to find the best platform for our class to use. A platform that I can use to post video messages and where students can also post video messages, photos of their work and to have a record of their learning journey.

There will be more to come in a few days. You can send me an email if you have questions or need support with anything.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy your day!
Beven Lafave
