This will be the last week of Home Learning.

I know it has certainly been a very challenging and unique year and I am so sorry we did not get to finish our year together at school. I really appreciate all you have done to take on the task of educators while maintaining your roles as parents, working inside and/or outside the home, with so many roles and responsibilities. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your effort under such difficult circumstances! I am very grateful for the time we did get to spend together this year and I will definitely be checking in on you all in the Fall! I hope you have a much needed break from your studies and a wonderful summer!

Mrs. Corcoran :)

What beautiful weather we have been having! I truly hope you are getting outside to play as much as you can!

We are going to change up the home learning for the next few weeks. Students can choose one activity a day from the Reading, Writing and Math choice boards. The choice boards are below. You might spend a couple days working on your writing choice.  Please continue to work on learning new sight words, Raz-Kids Reading, and Splash Math. If you have any questions, you can send me an email at natalie.corcoran@nbed.nb.ca.
