It has been a privilege and a pleasure to be your child’s teacher his year! It has flown by incredibly quickly. It seems only last week I was greeting the class and learning their names. I always begin the year explaining to the class that we will be together in our classroom for the next ten months, so we need to get along. We would be like a family, and even though you do not always get along with your family, you are still family. From the beginning, this class has showed extraordinary support for each other. The students consistently demonstrated empathy and understanding to each other with acts of kindness, compassion, fairness and humour. Some students stepped up (often out of their comfort zones) and displayed leadership through their words or actions when needed. In short, we looked out for each other, and for the last ten months it really did feel like a family. I will miss this group of talented, fun, kind young people more than I can say.

Have a great summer break!

Cheers!

2 Weeks Left!

We are in the home stretch! I will slowly start to send home older assignments, supplies etc.

If you know how to play crib, pass on a few tips to your child. We are learning next week. Crib is a great way to practice addition!

A few students need to complete:

-board game

-art project

Ask your child if they are caught up. It may mean their mark will drop if these do not get completed.

If you haven’t already heard me say that your kids are fantastic, they are! Have a good weekend! Cheers!
