I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! As we enter into another week of home learning, I want to thank all the students, parents, grandparents and their families for all your efforts and support during this time. I miss my class dearly, and hope everyone is doing very well! It is great being able to communicate with my students each week and hearing about their adventures in home learning!

*Reminder to check the music and phys ed teacher pages for activities as well! 

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Here are last week and this week's STEAM issues with some k-2 activities that students can do at home. 

Have fun! 

Mme Hitchman

Bonjour tout le monde! Hello to all my grade one students! 

We are now beginning Home learning for your child, and I want all my parents and students to know that I am here to support you in any way I can. You can contact me by email at rebecca.hitchman@nbed.nb.ca if you have any questions, concerns or clarification. 

Also, I will have login and passwords for each student for some of the math and reading websites, so if you are able to email me, I will be able to send these logins to you for your child to use.

We will be focusing on Literacy and numeracy; however, I will also be including some web links and documents for Art, mindfulness and social/emotional learning as the weeks continue. These are all optional and suggested activities as well so please choose what best suits your child and your home situation.

Thank you very much for all your support during these unprecedented times. It is suggested that students work maximum one hour each day on the suggested activities, this includes reading for 10-15 minutes per day. Students are also encouraged to get outside for some fun play! 

Remember we are all in this together!

Below you will find the following links for literacy and numeracy activities. These links can also be found under “Web links” on my teacher page. I will also continue to upload the SOUND of the WEEK every Monday for the remainder of the year along with new sight words students can work on creating at home.

In recap: Students should be:

• reading 10-15 minutes each day using one of the sites listed or a french book at home
• Following along with the sound of the week
• choosing three activities a week from the Board.
• exploring one of the math numeracy sites each day
