I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Division 4 community! We have a very exciting year ahead of us. Our goals for this year are community, collaboration, and creativity. The learning in our class will take place across curricular areas, and is based on inquiry, experience, and exploration. We will be taking our learning outside and on field experiences quite often, so please ensure your children bring appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather each day.

We will be using our classroom blog as one of our communication tools this year. Here you can find snapshots of our journey and materials to support learning at home. Please check the blog on a regular basis, or subscribe to our newsletter for updates about our class community.

There will be many opportunities for you to be involved in your child’s learning and in our classroom community, by accompanying us on field experiences, spending time in the classroom and garden, and joining us in celebrating our accomplishments. Please let me know if you would like to share your time or your expertise with our class!

I am looking forward to getting to know your child and your family as we spend this year together. Please feel free to come say hello before or after school. For a longer conversation, please email or call me to arrange a time. I can be reached by phone at 604-296-9036 or by email at Kristina.Carley@burnabyschools.ca. We will be having Parents As Partners Conference meetings on Sept. 25th and Sept. 26th, and I look forward to seeing you then, if not sooner!

All the best,

Ms. Carley
