Jan. 6, 2020
Welcome to the new year, 2020! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that you had a wonderful time with your families. The start of the year is always an exciting one for me. I have lots of interesting and engaging activities and studies for the students including new science and social studies units, creative activities with coding and robots, and a new theme for art--colour! I look forward to more fun and creative work with your children. As usual let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for the class.
Below is a link to a folder of class photos I'm taking and updating throughout the year.
