Good Afternoon Families!
Please read all the information below to get the latest scoop on our day!
Reminders
- Tomorrow is Spirit Day! Please ensure that your child shows their school spirit by wearing their house colour tomorrow.
- We have P.E. class tomorrow, but since it is spirit day we will not need our gym clothes.
- As per last year, I will continue to use an app called remind, initially I was going to switch over to Bloomz, but why change what has already been working so well. Through this app I will send updates about important class information. I will also use it as another form of communication if your child may be away or if you have any questions about homework. My office hours for the app will be from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm. To get started on the app, simply download Remind via your app store and join my class using the link below:

Please let me know if you have any problems with the link.

Quote of the Day:
Today was our first day being big buddies to the students in Ms. Bannon's class. They did such a great job reading to their buddies and helping them pick books. We will be reading with our buddies in the moning on day 2!
Inquiry into Math:
Today we wrote a Show What You Know Pretest for our first unit, Number Patterns. Tomorrow we will dive right into our first lesson!
Inquiry into Language:
Today we filled in the blanks to our very own news paper. In our news papers we wrote about ourselves, from the members in our family to our hopes and dreams. Tomorrow we will share a couple of things about ourselves with the rest of the class.
Yesterday we came up with 10 expectations to live and work by in room 15. Take a look at our list:
Unit of Inquiry:
Today we worked in groups to discover the learner profiles. Each group was given 1-2 learner profiles and they were tasked with coming up with a definition to define each profile, and then they had to draw a picture to illustrate that profile.
Tomorrow we will quickly go over each profile, and then we will begin our first Unit of Inquiry: How we organize ourselve.
