PARENTS, this site is made for you! Please know that I will do my best to keep you informed and to provide you with all of the information you will need to help support your child during this school year. My primary communication will be with emails and upon request, phone calls. This site will allow you to find answers to the questions you might have about your child's day, school events, HDSB links and some extra tidbits. This is NOT your child's online home for assignments or classwork. Students will be looked after through Google Classroom. I invite you to click on the slideshow on the left and let me introduce myself and share some more information with you about our year ahead!

Student Supports for At Home
Student Supports for At Home
Some students will need extra support at home with our in-class learning and that may mean that they require some extra reinforcement of the content learned or some extra time with specific tasks. Other students may need extensions to satisfy their interest in learning more. I hope that you will find the below links and suggestions helpful.
Reading
Reading
We will review the expectations around “reading-to-self” (read the whole time, no chatting, choosing a comfortable place and staying there, not using reading time for a washroom break or for sharpening pencils). Students will be building their reading STAMINA: doing anything for a long period of time without getting too tired or giving up.
Writing
Writing
Daily Writing - we will be working on responding to our Class Read Aloud, WONDER by R.J. Palacio. Students will be introduced to the Writer's Workshop Wheel to complete their writing, develop ideas, edit, and extend their writing stamina. Students will also be writing personal narratives that reflect experiences in their own lives and making connections to characters in a variety of books from other parts of the world and from different cultures.
Math
Math
Students will begin the year by developing a Math Growth Mindset. They will demonstrate their sense of number and explore place value. They will develop a comfort with discussing math, drawing out their ideas and comparing whole numbers as we begin to figure out where they've been with their math experiences and where we need to go next.

The Scholastic Flyer will be sent home in a hard copy/paper form each month.

Google Classroom is a STUDENT tool for learning, working and completing activities and assignments. Parents do not have access to this. HOWEVER, parents do have the option to be linked to their child's Google Classroom. Parents will receive an invite to Google Classroom in the email they have provided on the HDSB Verification form. Once the Classroom Student has accepted their invite then the parent/guardian invite will be given. I encourage all families to sign up for Google notifications and use it as one of the two primary communications pathways for information from our class to your home. Please see below for further information and instructions.
