Here are a few things you'll need to know about our classroom
I will use our classroom blog instead of sending home monthly newsletter. On our blog you will be able to find some of the different things we are learning about in class, reminders of any special events and a link to our monthly class calendar. Please follow me online by clicking the email
button on the page. Doing this will send any new posts on the blog to be
sent directly to your email account. That means that busy parents don't
have to remember to check the blog. The link to the blog will also be
available at the school website if you choose not to have the blog updates sent
to your email account.
Instead of sending home Evidence of Learning Portfolios each student will have a digital portfolio on FreshGrade. More information regarding FreshGrade will be sent home within the first week of school!
Book orders will be sent each
month. Please be aware that I can only accept cheques-no cash please.
Adams Awesome Awards
I'm sure you'll hear talk about the Adams Awesome Awards. They're our classrooms behaviour management reward system. Students can earn Adams Awesome Awards by getting their agendas signed nightly, completing the READO activity, working hard during class, table fairy visits, demonstrating WOW work and being helpful during class. This classroom management system aligns with the grade two math curriculum as it reinforces handling monetary denominations, skip counting and trading money. The money the students earn is spent at the classroom store on Fridays.
I encourage anyone who can help in the classroom to do so. I ask that you let me know in advance so that I can properly prepare for your visit, you can write it in the agenda, give me an email or call the school letting me know that you'd like to come in and help out.
All forms of volunteering are greatly appreciated and encouraged! Thank you to those who have returned the volunteer form already.
Assessment across the curriculum is done on an ongoing basis. Growth as a learner assessments are completed by students and by myself reflecting the growth that they've demonstrated throughout the month. Growth as a Learners will be posted on each child's digital portfolio so you will be able to look back and celebrate your child's success!
