All About Me

My name is Nicole Samuel and I am one of the Grade 4 teachers for this upcoming school year. I have been a teacher at SJA since January 2018 and this will be my third-year teaching Grade 4.

I am a graduate of Central Michigan University Elementary Education Program and an Alum of the CMU Women’s Soccer Team.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy being physically active (soccer is my favourite sport, go Manchester United!), watching movies, working on "do it yourself" crafts, and spending time with my family. I can hardly wait to get to know all of you!

Today we reviewed some of the things that we have learned during our latest Unit of Inquiry -How the world works: Light & Sound, by playing an educational quizzing game on Kahoot!




We will be having a quiz next week about the human eye and ear, so make sure you study your notes!
