December:
Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Both of my classes have been and/or will be involved in the Mini-Chef program. The 3/4 class recently earned just over $100 for their work producing the apple cookies and shepard's pie enjoyed by so many students. The 5/6 class will be involved in creating the menu, the budget, the discussions about healthy eating and lifestyle for their upcoming meal to be served December 16th. Both groups will get an opportunity to participate again in the new year. Money raised will be kept in a class account to help offset the cost of field trips.
Welcome

Welcome to the 2016-2017 School Year
This year I have the pleasure of teaching Grade 3/4 English and Math along with Grade 5/6 Math. I look forward to working with all of your children. I believe that you are your child's first teacher and know your child best. I look forward to working collaboratively with you to meet your child's personal academic and social goals. Please contact me regularly.

This will be a year of discovery. We will be exploring math and/or English together. We will be developing ourselves as individual learners, group learners, members of a learning community and members of small teams. We will all work as learners, listeners, presenters and teachers. Together we will strive to learn about ourselves, each other along with meeting the requirements of the curriculum.
Over the course of the year, your child will explore the CAPE of learning. As we develop each letter, I will include updates on the "CAPE" page. In the grade 3/4 class, we will use the Alert system to monitor and take responsibility for our personal readiness for learning. Check out the Alert page for further information.
I will regularly add photos and student work to this web site. If for any reason you would like me not to include pictures of your child or your child's name, please let me know.
I plan on updating this page monthly with new information. The individual pages for grade 3/4 and 5/6 will be updated weekly with the current topics being explored along with homework and suggestions for further learning.
I can be contacted through email at [email protected] or by phone at 819 777-8600. The quickest way to reach me is through email as I check my mail several times during the day.
