Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! Hope all of you had a wonderful break.
My name is Jeeniece Chand and I will be teaching your child until
the return of Mrs. Lonneberg in March. I have enjoyed getting to know
your children over this past week and believe that we will have a
wonderful time learning in a collaborative environment. I had been teaching one
of Brooksbank's grade 6/7 classes this past fall and had the opportunity to
meet this class during the organization of the Primary Musical
performances. I am excited to be working with a friendly, talented and
cooperative group of students. I have been in regular contact with Mrs.
Startup to ensure the class has a smooth transition. The class was very excited
to see Mrs. Startup on Wednesday, especially when we presented her with a
farewell card from the class!
I have listed some of the units we will be working on this term:
Language Arts: We will continue the various reading, writing and
oral components of the Language Arts program, including the Guided Reading and
Spelling program.
Math: We will be working on adding and subtracting before moving onto the next
unit.
Socials Studies: We will continue learning about "Family",
but will also be starting to discuss "Neighbourhood and Community".
Science: We will be starting a unit on "Air, Water and Soil" in
February.
DPA unit: We will be doing a Fitness unit.
Upcoming Important Dates - No School:
• Curriculum Day on Friday, January 17th
• Professional Day on Friday, February 7th
Parent Volunteers
A notice went home today about volunteering in the classroom. It would be fantastic to have parents helping during the Guided Reading program in the mornings and/or Choosing program in the afternoons. If you would like to volunteer in the classroom, please fill out the form and return it to me by January 15th. Thank you very much!
Blog
We feel that it might be easier to keep the blog address the same, so I
will continue to post updates on on this blog over the new few months. Please check the blog for updates! If you have
any questions please feel free to contact me or email me at jchand@sd44.ca.
I look forward to meeting all of you!
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jeeniece Chand
