Ways to Help at Home

Home Learning 

Learning initiated in the classroom will have natural extensions to home learning. For example, your child may be invited to bring items from home to contribute to school projects. In our classroom learning communities, we will celebrate school-home learning connections and invite students to share their passions and learning with their peers.

What Home Learning could look like?
  • Children engage in active and/or creative, unstructured play
  • Students read for pleasure for at least 10 minutes
  • We invite parents to “read to” their child every day
  • Children follow their passions and have choice in what they want to learn after 3 pm

What research supports home learning?
  • Reading has the single greatest impact on student achievement.  It expands vocabulary and broadens knowledge across all curricular disciplines.
  • Unstructured, imaginative, child-centred play and physical activity enhance student performance and lead to better behavioural choices.
  • The brain develops in childhood through active play and exercise.
