Welcome to Grade 1!  My name is Nicole Hazelwood-McGee. I have been teaching for over 20 years mostly in grade 1. We presently have 17 students in our class. We are very lucky to have Christa Murphy and Daisy MacAdam as our Educational Assistants this year.

We are committed to supporting student well-being and reinforcing social-emotional skills (SEL) like emotional regulation, empathy, and responsible decision-making. Westwood Primary School is one of 19 schools on PEI who are currently piloting a project called Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS). PBIS and SEL share a common goal: to nurture students not only academically but also emotionally and socially. Safety, Kindness and Respect are the three core values at the center of our Westwood Behavior Matrix. 

Please take time at your convenience to look through our class Google Site as there are many activities that we are doing in the classroom that can be reinforced at home to strengthen student learning.

The link to our class Google Site can be found on the Westwood School Website under "Classroom Google Sites". 

Homework will begin in September with a green folder for practicing Fundations skills. In October Students will take home another homework folder and 2 books (1 new & 1 old) every night. Student should be taking their blue homework bag to and from school everyday.

I will send home students' Google usernames and passwords in October in the back of their Homework Folders. Students will need this information to assess the Boom Cards on the online learning page. This is optional.

Please feel free to contact the school if you have any questions. Our School Administrative Staff are very helpful. They will happily take a message if you wish to speak with me and I will return your call.
