February 10th

I'm looking forward to meeting families on Friday, February 14th.  Thanks to everyone who returned the interview request form; confirmation notes were sent home last Wednesday. 

With the short week, I have sent home some language work for students to do at home (this is optional).  As well, I have posted some math activities to our Knowledgehook math account.  Students are working on a language assignment that is due on Thursday, February 13th.  Their rough draft can be accessed from TDSB online.  Students are familiar with the login process.

Given the job action this week, a friendly reminder that pizza lunch will be moved from Wednesday to Thursday.

Have a good week!

Wishing all of the families in our classroom a very prosperous and happy Lunar New Year!

I have been offline for a few weeks due to job action and a very limited work day.  As you know, Ontario teachers are trying to negotiate with the Provincial Government on the future of our children's education.  Work to rule has meant a reduced work day, an end to field trips, the loss of many extra-curriculars and the most recent, the TDSB deciding to not send home Term 1 Report Cards.

As such, a letter will be sent home this week inviting you to an interview with me, on Friday, February 14th.  I am available between 8:30 and 3:30 and would be happy to meet and discuss your child's progress in Term 1.  Meetings are purely voluntary on your part - if I have concerns about your child's progress, I have already reached out to you to meet or discuss by phone.

Thanks for your patience and support.
