Another New School Year and Another New Class!

iStock_000017007129SmallWelcome back everyone!  Welcome to Division 5!  I’m extremely excited about working with all of you this year and getting to know you.  I believe we will have a fabulous year together.  You have already had a busy couple of weeks getting to know each other and getting used to the routines of our classroom.  We are off to a great start!  Thanks parents for coming and helping me know more about your children!  I really value this information and your time.

During the first week of school Clinton students learned about the 7 Sacred Teachings from the Aboriginal culture.  Can any of you tell me something you learned?  Here is Division 5 as super heroes reminding students to use their super powers!  Just click to enlarge and rt. click to save on your own computer!

Remembrance Day!

IMG_0658Today, November 11, is an important day.  Hope you all remembered to do a minute of silence to honour and remember all the soldiers who have died to protect our country and who fought in wars to help others in need of protection.  We appreciate and respect all the soldiers today who continue to fight and protect.  After having a good conversation about war the students brainstormed words together that described the “darkness” and “lightness” of war.  They created beautiful poppies to depict this, which is now available to be seen in the Art Gallery Page above.

Welcome Back To School!

Div. 4 has had a fantastic start to the new school year.  The children seem really excited to learn new things and are already showing me that they are remembering our classroom routines.  We have been spending time talking about what it looks like and sounds like to “Be  a Star”.

S=Stay Safe

T=Take Responsibility

A=Act Respectfully

R=Remember to be Inclusive

Also, we had a great discussion on setting (SMART) goals and then they each came up with an academic, personal, and community goal and wrote them on their rockets they designed.  Check out our cool bulletin board,  “We are shooting to be stars”.

Boys and Girls can you tell me what you are excited to learn about this year?  Also, tell me what you do to be a star.
