Education in Ontario

Hello, class!

This week we will be learning about schools and education.

Watch this video about helping your child get organized for school.

Here you can listen to some phone conversations between a teacher and a parent.

Click here to hear conversations about meeting your child's teacher at school.

These conversations are called "Waking Up for School."

You can click HERE to visit Dougall School's website. Look around!

This video is about reading with your child. It's longer and a bit more difficult.

The Library

Hello!

Later this week I hope we can walk together to the library. On Thursday we learned about the sections of the library and how the Dewey Decimal System works. We also learned how to look up a book in the online catalog.

We learned that we can search by keyword, title, author and by subject.

Today we are going to practice using Windsor Public Library's online catalogue. I will give each of you a worksheet with the name of an item to find.

Here are the next steps in case you don't remember:

1. Go to the Google search screen and enter "Windsor Public Library."
2. Click "Search Library Catalogue."
3. Click the BIBLIO Commons logo.
4. Use the drop-down list to choose keyword, title, author or subject.
5. Type the word or words from your worksheet and click SEARCH.
6. Answer the questions on your worksheet.

When you are done, please visit Settlement.org - Your Library to read about libraries and watch a video.

Have fun!
