Join the Parent to Parent group!

The Regional Office of Education #33 invites parents and guardians to our monthly Parent-to-Parent group, a space to connect with others, share experiences, and explore helpful strategies for parenting and family well-being.

Topics include:

- Different parenting approaches and strategies
- Activities to do with your children
- Supporting overall family wellness and child development

Objective 7 in our Creative Curriculum focuses on helping children demonstrate fine-motor strength and coordination—using their fingers and hands to explore, create, and learn. You can support this at home with simple, fun activities:

• Play with Playdough or Clay: Rolling, pinching, and shaping helps strengthen hand muscles.

• Cutting and Pasting: Using child-safe scissors or tearing paper improves hand-eye coordination.

• Stringing Beads or Pasta: Threading beads onto a string encourages precision and control.

• Building with Blocks or Legos: Stacking and connecting pieces develops finger strength and dexterity.

• Everyday Tasks: Encourage your child to button, zip, or use utensils independently.

These activities are not only fun—they help children gain the fine-motor skills needed for writing, drawing, and other school tasks.

• Morning students will receive items from the breakfast menu as their mid-morning snack.

• Afternoon students will receive items from the lunch menu as their mid-afternoon snack.

• Full-day students will be served breakfast, lunch, and a mid-afternoon snack.
