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!

Year End and Summer Holidays

It is amazing how fast the school year went.  I would like to thank all the wonderful students who were in my Grade 1J classroom this past year and their parents for a super year!  We worked hard, learned a lot and had so much fun.  Thank you to all of you for the surprise end of the year gift... you were very kind to me.  I hope everyone has a super summer holiday... lots of sleeping in, lots of playing in the sun, lots of visiting and traveling, and lots of fun!  See you all in September.
