Back At It!

What's New in Grade 1J

We have had a busy couple of weeks since coming back from our Christmas holiday.  The flu has hit our classroom and we've had 4-6 students absent every day since we came back. 

Almost Christmas

Where does the time go?  This past fall has absolutely flown by!  It's hard to believe that Christmas is almost upon us.  The Grade 1J's are getting into the holiday spirit:  making crafts... writing their letter to Santa... decorating a tree for the Community Festival of Trees fund raiser... practicing for the Christmas concert... and counting down to Christmas.  It's an exciting time of year.  The Grade 1J's and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Halloween is Coming

Oooooooo!   Oooooooo! The ghosts and goblins will soon be upon us and the Grade 1J's are going to be ready for them.  We are starting our Halloween theme this week.

I've Missed You

Hello, Grade 1J.  I haven't seen you since Friday.  I've been at a Teacher Logic workshop for the last 2 days.  I have learned a lot but I missed you.  I can't wait to get back to school and to see you all again!

Welcome Class of 2012-2013

Welcome to my new class.  I am excited to be working with you this year.  We will have a great year of learning. 

Summer Is Great!

I have only a few days of summer holidays left.  Students still have another week... play hard and enjoy your time off.  It's been a busy summer for me.  I've been to Regina, Moose Jaw, Ogema, Drumheller, Edam, Mervin, and the lake this summer.  It's been great to see parts of Canada I've never been to before.  I just missed the discovery of the newest dinosaur at Drumheller by a matter of days.  I got to spend time with my mom, my nephews and niece, and my brothers and sister-in-laws.  Getting together with aunts, uncles, and cousins was a summer bonus.  I promised that I would say a special "hello" to my little cousin, Meadow.  I hope you have a great end of summer!
