Family Literacy Day
A message from our Learning Commons Teacher, Laura Molloy:
To celebrate Family Literacy day on Friday, January 27th, Lochside students are welcome to invite a parent or guardian to come and read with them in their classroom from 8:40-9:10 am. At Lochside, we truly value the important role caregivers play in providing enriching literacy activities at home. Even simple tasks such as reading the instructions to a board game, cozying up to read a bedtime story or creating silly stories together can be impactful. Parents and guardians have an incredible influence on their child's development, and we want to celebrate all you do.
Lochside staff and students are also welcomed to dress up as a literary character of their choice. Please ensure all costumes do not have face masks or weapons. This is an optional activity for those who wish to take part.
