Health & Wellness at home
The following page provides resources that may be beneficial to parents, guardians, students, and families. I have done my best to help streamline and simplify the information provided to help users navigate the influx of information you will be receiving at this time.
A few key points:
- The top 2 resources are from the division and province and provide an excellent starting point for any and all subject areas and grades
- Sub headings have been used to help you find specific information you are seeking
- Brief descriptions below the sub headings provide insight into what the resources may contain
- I have included a note saying "Mr. Pratt's pick" for my favourite resource in every section
- I have included a note saying "try it at home" for any link that includes a direct activity that can be done at home
