Ms. Gill's 2021/2022 Class Blog

Dear Families, No snow days this week, yay!  It was wonderful to have all my students in class for 5 days in a row ;)  As a class family, we continue to work hard and have such meaningful experiences with one another.  It's truly a joy to be with your child at school to learn and grow with! Valentine's Day: I'm excited to share that we can still honour and celebrate Valentine's Day with cards!   We'll celebrate this occasion on Mon. Feb. 14th by dressing up in red, white, purple, pink, and hearts!   If your child wishes to participate in giving Valentines to his/her classmates, please have them include all of the members of our class family using the list that was sent home last week. If you would like to send in any kind of treats, please ensure they are individually wrapped and store bought. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as always. Language: Our focus in language continues to be on listening, reading and writing about Black History...

Dear Families, Happy February!  This week, we experienced 2 inclement weather days.  I hope you remained safe on the roads as the driving conditions were icy. When a "snow day" occurs, please note that I have been posting asynchronous work in Google Classroom for students to complete.  These tasks are set up in a user friendly and engaging format using Google Slides.   Asynchronous work is designed for children to access at home to work through at their leisure.  I post a literacy and math task which focuses on what we're learning in class.  I do request that students TURN IN their classwork to receive timely feedback.  Thank you. Ally: A special shout out to Ally who is seen here working on a multiplication job that I posted.  Mom mentioned that Ally's enjoying accessing classwork at home to remain accountable for assigned activities. Ally's displaying exceptional learning skills and work habits even at home on a snow day :-)   Mee...
