Cancellation of Classes

Hello to my wonderful CSSI families!

I hope you are all doing well during this stressful and uncertain time. All school and CBE updates and information will be coming through to you via School Messenger or you can access this information on the CBE website:

https://www.cbe.ab.ca/Pages/default.aspx

The complex learning team is working together in order to provide more information about programming while you are at home. More information should be made available after Spring Break. I will update the blog on a regular basis, and in addition, I will be emailing each family after Spring Break. 

Again, I know that this is a stressful time. Please know that we are thinking of you all and we miss the boys terribly. Take care and we will talk soon. 

Mrs. Matiece and the CSSI Team

Reading Time

In Room 7, we have started a daily reading program where students are given the opportunity to explore books independently and with an adult or peer. Research shows that Reading and storytelling help your child’s development in many ways. These activities promote brain development and imagination, teach your child about language and emotions, and lay the foundations for other literacy skills. 

The books that students are exposed to are simple books that often have a repetitive and predictable pattern. When exploring books, students are read to, have the opportunity to try to identify words and phrases, and are asked comprehension questions like "What do you see?", "Where is the ______?" etc.
