Please find a number of units to support high school science from grades 10 in Saskatchewan.

Phonological awareness skills are important in order to develop good reading and spelling skills. Having good phonological awareness skills means that a child is able to manipulate sounds and words, or “play” with sounds and words. For example, you might ask your child to break the word “cat” into individual sounds: “c-a-t.” Important: These skills deal with SOUNDS not letters. For example, /t/ represents the sound and not the letter name “tee.” You will not use any written or visual letters when working with phonological activities. These activities are done with listening and speaking only. Learning the letter names and their corresponding sounds is also very important but should be taught and practiced at a different time of the day. This resource will have a weekly activity for your to work on with your child/student(s). It will include a handout with information and guidance, as well as a video to help support you and the learner.

This resource provides an overview of digital citizenship, and education associated with help students make informed decisions when they participate online. Our world is changing, and schools need to adapt to new realities of knowledge, society, and education. Technology has fundamentally changed our idea of community and the ways in which we interact with each other, so that building individual networks for learning and sup-port is more important than ever before. The Internet has also broken down many barriers of space and time, allowing us to rethink the way that we work and connect; we are no longer tied to only those in our immediate physical surroundings but instead now operate within more fluid and complex networks of people from around the globe thanks to social networks and mobile technologies. Online risks exist and students need to be equipped with the skills to safely and smartly navigate the onlne spaces that they are part of.
