A document providing advice and resource links to connect with the students as well as the parents of Kindergarten through to Grade 6 students using digital tools is available below with links to a number of websites.

K-6 Resources

​Connecting Digitally With Students
Considering that children in K-6 will have varying levels of independence and access to technology, they will need their parents or caregivers to assist them. Some of these resources may need to be creatively modified given the age group each teacher works with.

Your Students Would Love to Hear From You and See You!
Using a pre-recorded video to send a message to greet your students and their parents or to provide some weekly connections may also be an avenue to consider. See the link below to review some potential ways to connect digitally.​

Resources to Support PUF and Diverse Learners while at home
The role of the Educational Assistant and classroom teacher changes in a remote learning delivery model to facilitation of learning activities that a parent or caregiver can provide to both PUF and diverse learners across all grade levels. Wolf Creek is developing an ongoing list of resources that will continue to be updated as we work with school staff and service delivery providers such as Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists and Educational Psychologists to provide appropriate activities. These may come in the form of documents, website links, videos, recorded webinars or virtual office hours for parents to join webinars at specific times. The link to access this web resource that is constantly under development is available below.
Alberta Resources Online
A number of resources are available to Alberta teachers to support the delivery of learning to students. See these in in the link below.
Templates for a Home Schedule
Some families may appreciate a suggested home schedule of activities they can choose to do with their K-6 child. This would allow them to keep a routine of various subjects and activities to work towards during a week or on various days. These example templates linked below provide a basis to work from.

Support for Teacher Development
Support for teacher development in utilizing various digital tools is available from peers and colleagues both within Learning Services and within various schools. A list of "mentor teachers" has been developed which lists willing colleagues that are able to be contacted for phone, video or email support during this time where a few tips and pieces of advice can make a huge difference!

To access this list of "mentor teacher" colleagues and Learning Services staff at various grade/subject levels who are willing to support this work, please click on the link below.

If you want to be added to this list, please contact Sean Lougheed in Learning Services as we anticipate this list to evolve over time.

Kindergarten Specific Activities
Grade 1-3 Learning Resources
A list of activities for kindergarten teachers to access that supports literacy and early childhood domains and child development are compiled at this link below. 
Grade 4-6 Learning Resources
Knowing that students in Grade 4-6 exhibit more independence, these resources have been complied to ​support literacy, numeracy and cross-curricular development at a more independent level. These resources allow for ongoing work using different tools on a daily or weekly basis to support continued growth. The use of digital tools, video and Hapara at this grade level will allow further interaction with teachers and students as plans are implemented.
The focus on Grade 1-3 supports is around literacy and numeracy development. This list of resources provides teachers with a number of activities that can be assigned regularly each day/week or modified to fit an individual learning activity for students to complete at home.
Virtual Field Trips to Support Learning
Students with a URL to a specific site can experience a virtual field trip using a small device such as an iPhone, a tablet, a computer or even a SMART TV in their living room. Virtual field trips provide an extension for the entire family to mentally get out of the house and experience some amazing learning opportunities!  Visit the link below for a list.
French Immersion Supports
Various online resources are available in French and will be an option for any French Immersion educator to access and modify to fit the appropriate subject or grade level. Teachers can preview these resources and determine if they feel the content lends itself well to designing a lesson or activities for students to participate in at home. All of the English resources listed by subject level above also can be modified accordingly to support the learning content needs of students.

Support for ELL Students
Supports for English Language Learners involve modifying the earlier resources that are linked while leveraging some of the teaching advice found within various ELL resources. Below is a link to some resources at different ability levels.
