November 18-22

It was a short but wonderful week in Grade One.  We were excited to welcome our student teacher, Miss Bennis into our classroom this week.  She spent lots of time getting to know the students and she taught us all about moccasins for Rock Your Mocs day.  Check out the pictures!  She has many fun lessons planned for the next few weeks that we will look forward to!

Report Cards
I hope you were all able to view your child's report card online over the weekend.  This is a new system for us, as we have always handed out hard copies in the past.  I have linked instructions below if you have not accessed the report card yet.  
Online Report Cards
I am so proud of each and every one of my students and the growth that they have made since September is unbelievable. They all have goals to work towards and I can't wait to see how far they come this year!  Please use this report card as a time to  and celebrate success with your child!  

Teacher Interviews
Parent-teacher interviews will take place on Thursday, November 21 and they are 15 minutes long.  I would love for your child to come with you to our interview if possible.  We have so much to show off and celebrate and it is important that they are a part of the conversation.   Also, please try to come 15 minutes early as I will have all of their work set out in the hallway for you to look through with them.  If you need assistance in booking your interview time please visit the link below.  I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday
