Welcome to a new school year! 2017 -2018
This year I am teaching a split grade, with 10 'Grade One' students and 10 'Grade Two' students. It also means working with two different school teams (the grade one and two teachers at our school) to plan and prepare curriculum. 

I try to strike a balance between what each individual student needs as well as following along with what each grade is doing. Sometimes it will mean following different timelines or working out the best way to maximize our time and effort. At other times, it may mean that one grade will go with another teacher on a school trip while I stay behind with the other half. The good news is that it will allow students to be with their peers that are in other classes and provide opportunity to make new friends.

 Please follow along on Class Dojo to hear up to the minute class happenings! As well, come back to check this blog for homework (which will start soon) and to read the school twitter feed which will give you information about what is happening school - wide. Looking forward to a busy and exciting year :)
