It"s in the bag!
Surrey Connect have chosen "Teaching Parents How To Teach" to include in their Ready Set Learn parent bags for parents of children starting Kindergarten.
With over a dozen families in attendance Surrey Connect held its first Ready Set Learn Elementary workshop for parents of pre school children and gave out 15 Surrey Connect Book bags. Teaching Parents How To Teach was included in this great scheme for parents. We also put on a workshop for Surrey Connect to introduce the families to multi-sensorial teaching and how they can help their children, and support their individual styles of learning. The workshop was a resounding success and we look forward to doing more with the Surrey school board in the future.
