I’m very excited to share with EMP families our first week of online library learning commons lessons!  The theme of our first week is “Sharing the Beauty in Our World”.

On Monday, April 13th at 9 am, I will post a password-protected video of me reading the Canadian story, “Sidewalk Flowers” by author JonArno Lawson, illustrated by Sydney Smith.

The password will be shared on our Library Learning Commons Facebook page and our principal will be sharing the password in an email home to all families this coming week.  The password will stay the same for all future online story readings.   Online readings are allowed by certain book publishers as long as the videos are private and password protected.  All videos will be taken down at the end of June 2020.

Each day at 9 am, I will publish a new video of me sharing the daily activities.  Please note:

• Activities can be done in any order, on any day of the week.
• Activities are optional and just suggestions.  If you and your child(ren) have other ideas or are inspired in another way, please follow your heart!
• Your child(ren) can participate in one activity, two activities or none.  Just listening to the story is fine!
• If you and your child(ren) are interested in sending me your work – please do!  I would love to see what you’ve made.  Please see the “Submissions” tab at the top right hand side of my blog for more information.  Submissions can be sent to dzibin@sd79.bc.ca
• If you and your child(ren) choose to share work with our EMP community, please let me know in the email.  I will publish all submissions on the blog by noon on Fridays in a gallery style format.  If you have any comments or anecdotes to share along with the images, please do so!
• Stories and activities will change weekly.
• All ages are welcome to participate.  I will be creating separate programming for Grades 4-7 for the week.

Looking forward to seeing your responses to our shared readings!
