Hello Kindergarten Families,
As you know, we have been given guidelines from Alberta Education that mandates we provide 5 hours of schoolwork per week focused on literacy and math. We also hope to offer some optional activities that you might consider having a look at towards the bottom of the template. Each week we also hope that you will be able to determine a schedule that works best for your family. We ask that you please be patient with this process as we all know technology can be a bit bumpy at times. Thank you for all you are doing to support your child with their learning at home. We appreciate all that you do!
