Community Classes are learning opportunities open to both TLA students and school-aged children from other schools. These classes are less than a full course; whereas a course meets the standards set out by the provincial curriculum such as what TLA currently offers via our Blended and Online systems (ie Online Humanities 8), Community Classes could be as short as a one-day, one-hour long instructional offering on dissecting a sheep’s eye, or it could be a weekly writing workshop that lasts for three months.

If you have questions about any of the programs being offered please direct them to Annette Flitton (aflitton@schoolathome.ca). Please note that in order for these classes to run there is a minimum number of students required. Each class has a different limit on spaces available so be sure to register early to secure your child’s spot!

Reading Buddies (K-9) // In-Person // Blind Bay

Taught in person by Pamela Smid.

Bring your favourite book or look through the ones suggested by the South Shuswap Library to share with a buddy!
This class is designed to offer students an opportunity to practice reading books with a buddy.                      Ideally, older students will be paired with younger readers; however, reading pairings will depend largely on student attendance. Teacher-led reading and support will also be offered.
The first hour of class is designated for reading books together as a group, in pairings and/or small groups.  The second hour can be spent continuing to read independently or as a small group, or it may be used to play a variety of reading-related games (i.e. Scrabble, crossword puzzles, word searches, mad gab, reading flash cards, etc).
We encourage ages kindergarten to Gr. 9 to attend!
ALL reading levels are welcome!
