Hello Grade One families and students,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Here are some activities/resources for this week's learning. Please note they are optional. There is no need to print the sheets if you don't have access to a printer. All of the activities can be completed on any piece of paper if you choose to do them :)

I have updated the settings in RazKids. Students have access to a greater number of books in English and French.

I hope the students are remembering to do good deeds for Lent :) When you pray today, please think of those who may need God's love.

Sending well wishes to all of you!

some Math, Reading and Writing activities.
