Parents,

Every year, I publish a post similar to this one.  It is perhaps one of the most important posts because it highlights a big step in your child’s journey in being able to give voice to their learning and to share their learning through the blogfolios.

Our Blogfolios have been quiet as of late because the students have been working hard to learn how to create their own blogfolio posts.  Technology being what it is, it has not been easy and we have encountered many challenges, but we have persevered. I am still also doing teacher posts as well.  You will see them start to come out as we now approach the end of the term and many assignments and assessments are being completed.

As part of the Core Competencies (B.C. Curriculum), your children are learning to acquire the technological skills to communicate with you about their learning through their blogfolios.  Communicating encompasses the set of abilities that people use to exchange information, experiences, and ideas.

*Please be forgiving of our mistakes.  While we try not to send posts that aren’t ready, it is easy for posts to get sent out while they are still in progress.  The Word Press format is a complex system.  As well, teacher comments or student comments may be added at a later date and student comments represent how they write at this stage in their learning.  You will see some spelling mistakes and missed capitals and punctuation.  I mostly edit for appropriate content. You may find that you are pinged a few times for the same post as it is updated.

Dear Div. 6 Parents,

Our class will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Monday with some special activities.  If you are intending to send a treat (not required), please remember that as part of Covid Protocols, we require that it be individually wrapped and that it be at school by this Friday so that I can ‘quarantine’ the treats before handing them out.

If your child is handing out Valentine Cards, please remember that we have 20 students in our class.  Please make sure that each child in the class receives a card so that no one feels left out.  Your child is bringing home a list of our classroom names today (in their planner).  As a time-saver, you may wish to only write “from: your child’s name”.  You do not have to write individual names on each card, but I did provide the names in the case that you wish to address the cards with their first names.

Final reminders:

-Math quizzes went home last Friday, please have the students correct their work and get them back to me signed by the parents

A Happy Valentine’s Day in advance,

Mrs. Marto
