Typically at this time of the year, our school hosts Ready, Set, Learn to support three and four year olds in our community. Ready, Set, Learn is about fostering positive connections between families, the school system and local community agencies. As a result of Covid 19, we are unable to facilitate Ready, Set, Learn. In light of this, our District has developed a website called surreyschoolsone.ca that provides parents with activities to support learning at home. It has also provided some activities, resources and a list of community partners you may find helpful. Please see the list of ideas below:

Literacy Activities:

• Drawing and Writing at Home
• Read the Pictures
• I Spy
• Listening and Noticing Walk

Numeracy Activities:

• Set the Table
• Count the Laundry
• Heavier or Lighter
• Shapes on Point

Social Emotional Learning Activities:

• If You’re Happy and You Know It
• Bubbles
• Engage
• We Like Routines
