reminders and inspiration

• Meet the Teacher is this Wednesday, September 17 starting at 5pm. Since I have two roles at the school, Langauge Arts Teacher and Learning Resource Teacher, I will be in my resource room, room 108. I feel this will give everyone an equal chance to pop by and meet me. I am looking forward to meeting all of you!
• Puzzle Pieces (We All Fit Together) are due Tuesday, September 16th. 
• Heart Maps are due Thursday, September 18.

Last week the students completed a questionnaire. One of the questions I asked was, "What do you expect of me as a teacher?" A few of them said they wanted to be inspired. So on Friday, we watched a video about a very inspiring farmer named Chris. This week we will be focusing on writing paragraphs, and our first paragraph will be about Farmer Chris.

Check out the video below. I think you will be inspired, too.

Have a wonderful and inspired week!

First Week

Our first week ended with lots of fun, including a spirit assembly, team building games and ice-breaker activities. It was a great first week! I have enjoyed getting to know your children; they are a wonderful group.

This week we did some "get to know you" activities. My favourite was their All About Me Bags. All of the students did a great job of sharing objects, and it was fun to discover some of the things that make them happy and how they spend their free time. Great work F6D!!

• On Monday, September 8th please bring magazines, newspapers, flyers, photos, (or any other source that can be cut up) that will represent you in our "Fitting Together Project."

• The "Fitting Together Project" is due Monday, September 15th.

• Bring a binder, dividers and a novel to read to L.A. class on Monday.
• If you haven't handed in your questionnaires, please bring return those before the end of the week.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!!
