home

As part of the communication between home and school I would like to open up a discussion forum for parents to add ideas for supporting childrens learning at home, ask questions or just discuss issues re education today.

From time to time I'll put links to info about learning, parent sites and video clips for you to view at home. There will be discussion topics for you to add your ideas and opinions. Eventually this wikispace could take on a life of its own with you, the parents finding relevant information, games and activities that can be shared with other Room 6 parents. For now let's keep it simple. Please send your e-mail to me at school so that I can invite you to be a member of this space. That way you can join the discussions or start one of your own.
 * This wikispace is for you.**

Spend time with them Find out what they are good at or what interests them Give them responsibilities at home Ask them their opinion about things Expect them to go to school every day Read with them often,talk about the book Play word games Talk about our world.....how are rainbows formed? Play board games together
 * How to help your child learn**

Many of these ideas are found in "Team Up" distributed by Ministry of Education If you have any great ideas for activities that other parents could try at home to encourage reading, writing, numeracy skills or a love of learning please add to the discussion page
