Hey parents,

I know that some of you will be heading back to work soon which will mean your children will be off to daycare and other childcare. Please do not stress about getting the work I have posted done.  If you can’t do it, it’s okay.  It will be here if and when you want it.  Make your life as stress free as you can 🙂 I know it has been really hard to engage my own children in the learning process the last few weeks.

Camp Awesome: Camp Awesome Website

This was posted on their facebook page March 20th. I am not sure if that is still available but worth a check 🙂

Anyone who doesn’t have access to a printer at home on PEI who would like a copy of our education and fun worksheets will be able to pick up a copy for free at Gifts From the Heart on Spring Lane or at the Upper Room Food Bank on Belmont Street in Charlottetown.

We would also encourage anyone who is able to drop off a donation of food to these organizations. These are trying times especially for those in need. Some suggested items that there is a current need for are kids snacks, soup and cereal.

Early Reader Books

Hey Parents!

I just wanted to show you a set of books that may be good for your children to practice some reading. Most of the children would be fine with levels A, B or C but some maybe ready for D, or even E.  They are available at Indigo and Amazon both.  I believe Indigo has curbside pick up now.  Anyway, these are not necessary but would be not too bad for kindergarten readers 🙂 If you want to see the inside of the books, Amazon has some pictures in the ratings.  Both Indigo and Amazon have similar pricing, it would just be the wait time for delivery.

At school when we are looking at a new book for the first time, we do a walk through.  A walk through is just looking at the pictures and talking about what is happening in them.  I like to use some of the words from the book to describe the picture. For example in the picture below (level A) I would ask the children “what do you see in this picture?” I might say something like “It looks like it’s warm, maybe it’s summer but it might be spring” or “Look at the sun, it is shining!” So I don’t talk about the actual words at first but just about the pictures. Once we do that, we go back and read the words together and then finally I let the children read the books themselves.  Let them try to figure out the words themselves but for no more than 30 seconds so they don’t get frustrated 🙂
