Hello!
It was so lovely to see many parents at our Curriculum Afternoon! Thanks for coming to see our classroom, and hear a little about Grade 5.
The school year is moving along. Students have had a little difficulty getting used to routines and expectations. Please remember about daily reading and Writer's Notebooks, and finishing up work not done in class.
October is Responsibility month. I'm finding that many students in our class need encouragement for being responsible for work, classroom jobs, and our environment. We need to act as a community to ensure that our learning environment is safe and enjoyable. We want to learn about responsibility in October, but use the skills all year. Giving your child responsibilities at home helps them learn about being responsible citizens.
On Tuesday, we welcomed Ms. Gordon, a teacher candidate from Queen's University, to our class. She will be with us for 6 weeks. Over that time, she will be teaching lessons, working with small groups, and working one-on-one with students. We all look forward to working with her.
Before you know it, it will be time for Progress Reports and Parent-Teacher interviews. Students should continue to work hard, listen, focus, participate, and remember that EVERYTHING they say and do in class is taken into consideration when report cards are created.
Thank you for your continued support of your child's education.
Ms. Bordonaro
