Parent Resources
Online Resources
The following web sites are resources for you and your child to do at home. Please take the time to explore and introduce these great web sites to your child. Your child will have practice with some of these sites at school so it will really help them (and me) if you practice at home too! You may also refer to these sites to find helpful information for you to fully understand your child’s academic and developmental growth. Remember, it is important to spend time with your child at home and reinforce what is being learned at school; but keep in mind that it is always more meaningful to your child when they can share what they know and do at school too!
