The school year has been delayed due to the teachers' strike, but that doesn't mean students have to put their learning on hold.
A number of free educational resources are available online and at North Shore libraries to help self-motivated students keep their brains active while classrooms are closed.
North Vancouver City Library has homework help available online for children and teens in language arts, math, science, social studies and more at nvcl.ca. Students and parents can also access online courses and download practice tests through the library website.
Meanwhile, North Vancouver District Public Library users can access homework resources at nvdpl.ca and the librarians at West Vancouver Memorial Library have compiled a list of their favourite homework help sites at westvanlibrary.ca. The West Vancouver library also offers access to online courses and lectures.
For students in French programs, Canadian Parents for French have launched a crowd-sourced resource at bc-yk.cpf.ca to help youth brush up on the French language during the strike.
Additionally, curriculum packages by grade are downloadable at bced.gov. bc.ca and a variety of free texts and project-based activities available through Open School BC and LearnNowBC are listed at bcparentinfo.ca.
