Hello,
It has been a wonderful first day for me at St. Anne's today. The students have been very friendly and helpful.
The students will be bringing their agendas home tonight, with the School newsletter, the order form for next week's BBQ and the Lunch Lady order form inside.
A small correction in the agenda, the school Twitter handle should be: @OCSB_StAnne.
Tonight, for homework, the students have been asked to discuss with their parents how their names were chosen. The students can write out a good copy of the story on the provided paper, or they can take notes for a rough copy and write our the good copy at school. It is their choice.
The first day flew by. I told the students a little bit about myself and my routines and rules. Then the students chose five questions to ask a partner, and presented the two most interesting things they learned about their partner to the class.
Next, the students worked on self-portraits, which will accompany the story of how they were given their names, in a book we are creating.
Finally, we worked on some Inquiry Math questions. We worked in pairs to solve questions involving number sense and patterning.
It was a great start to the year!
Have a good night.
Mr. Skinner
