This Week's Learning - June 1-5

Click here to access original document with active hyperlinks

Welcome back to school this week, those who choose to try it out.
Please remember that it will look very different...
  • I will not be in the building, I will continue to guide your learning from home
  • There will be a TTOC in the class (or another teacher from our school) to support those who have chosen to come back
  • Water fountains have been disabled. Please note that water bottles from home can be refilled at the sinks in the school
  • There will be separate recesses for primary and intermediate classes
  • Social distancing will be expected at all times, though 2m is not actually feasible indoors
  • Each student will be required to have and use their own materials, we'll continue learning to share with our ideas rather than with our objects.
  • There will be all kinds of different routines around using washrooms, entering and exiting, moving around the classroom, hand and surface washing, music and library times, etc.
Please come to school with schoolwork-friendly technology, as our learning expectations will remain the same at home or at school. The difference will be the in-person interaction with an educator, and the common structure of the day for those at school. 

Please let me know if there are questions that your child would like me to address in a video chat. Although there are none scheduled for this week, I can add some as needed for those who would like specific support from me. This applies to ALL of my students, home or at school.

2022-2023 Week 0: Sept 6-9

Welcome back to school! We've hit the ground running, folks; here's what we've done this week. Tuesday: Where do we line up? Where is our class? Who are our teachers?

What are the expectations in our class?  Wednesday: We wrote about ourselves We did notes about place value and position in math - quiz Sept 20th We looked at the present tense of être (to be), avoir (to have), and aller (to go) - pre-quiz Sept 16, quiz Sept 23 We started listening to the book Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt We talked about learning differently and how that makes us feel We made inferences (educated guesses based on what we've read, plus what we know from life) We learned that Janelle has ADHD, and so do a number of her students (who shall remain unnamed unless they choose to share that information themselves) - we watched a video called How To (Explain) ADHD We learned that we are welcome to share our own informa

It's been a while

 Sorry about my lousy communication of late (other than field trips, I mean). I've had this stupid (pardon my strong language) cold for a month and a half!! And it's not getting better! Anyway, there's lots going on this month, so here is the newsletter/calendar thing. I sent them home on Friday, on dark green paper. I haven't sent home a missing work email in a while, and I won't before break. Report cards are coming digitally, though.  Permission slips for bowling have already gone home, but I haven't sent the ones for skating, yet.  I put the first week back in January on this calendar, too. I also included some half birthdays, since not everyone is lucky enough to have their birthday during the school year. I also put my son's birthday on the calendar, since it's a milestone. Wish me luck in the passenger seat of my own car!! In case I don't check in again before the break, Happy Whatever Holiday You Celebrate Even If It's No Holiday At All,
