Term 1 Week 3 2016

It was great to see so many people at acquaintance night last night.  For those of you who could not attend, a paper copy of the term overview came home with your child tonight.  I will be posting a copy of my weekly term plan (detailing the topics to be covered each week by subject) on the Term Overview page.

I have arranged for staff not trained in Read, Write, Inc/Fresh Start to complete training over the next two days.  Therefore I will not be in class and have left my planned teaching for the relief teacher to cover.

Please feel free to email me if you have any queries concerning our learning, Chromebooks, etc.  at vcrozier@ardps.com

I will also be using Google+ to communicate with you too.

Term 1 Week 2

Welcome back and General Class Information

What a great day, all students have made a fantastic start and the signs are good for a very successful year ahead.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you as Room 31 parents for 2016.

Please take a few minutes each day to let your child tell you about Room 31 and how we work. There may be a few concerns about class expectations and procedures. This usually disappears after the first week.

All students have been given equipment to use in the classroom. This equipment will stay in their tray and any other pencil cases they have can be kept at home for homework tasks.

We encourage students to have water bottles in the classroom. Raw fruit and vegetable snacks are also encouraged for brain break eating throughout the day.

Thanks to the parents who sent a box of tissues to school today. We would appreciate each family donating a box of tissues for class use.

We will cover Homework, Curriculum & Behaviour Management expectations and any other class information at the acquaintance Night on Tuesday 16 February 2016.

This year most communication will be through the blog rather than using a diary. If you need to write to us please do so in the diary. Confidential notes will need to be in a sealed envelope.

We hope that all families will be able to access and participate in the class online Hub and be an active member of the Ardtornish Google Community. We have found this to be a very successful communication tool especially when parents can access the information via their phone.
