Parents,
If your child would like, they may wear and/or bring their pj's and a stuffy to school on Thursday aside from their Scary Hairy Orange and Black attire. The theme has NOT changed. I am simply doing this in my class as it was suggested by them to wear pj because of movie in the afternoon. Please do what is easiest for your family :) I would suggest orange and black a.m. and pj (if they choose) sent seperate in the afternoon during movie. We will have a small class celebration within our bubble. I will be play an educational French video well. Remember, "BYOT" a.k.a. bring your own treat applies due to Covid. Thanks.

Welcome back. I hope you all had a restful weekend. Sunday was a beautiful day.
Few notes:
- Library on Tuesday
- Fundraising tickets due Monday Oct 19th.
French - Books have begun to make their way home. Typically students regress by 1-2 levels over summer. Please keep in mind however that your child(dren) has missed 6 months of instruction due to Covid. We have created reading groups in class and practice daily. Books will make their way home every 2 or 3rd day, so please continue to re-read if need be nightly. There are always new words to rehease, master, etc.
We continue with our Halloween theme. Students are learning new vocabulary daily and completing many fun activities.
Math - We continue to work with Patterns and have incorporated counting by 2, 5, 10, etc. within the mix. Mathletics on the school iPads has also been a hit with students and is proving beneficial.
Let's have a great week. If you have any questions and/or concerns, please send me a note or e-mail. Cheers :)

I will be sending home an information sheet with French learning activities incase we happen to temporarily end up being sent home due to Covid-19. It is important to be prepared, and I hope this plan will not have to be set in motion. My teacher page will be an invaluable resource as well during this time if this were to occur.
If you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact me or our administration for assisatnce. Ca va bien aller :)

This week we have been training and practicing with the iPads and Math Reflex program. We have been shown how to properly sanitize them as well. Math Reflex is a fantastic program that help's students master their basic math facts (addtion, subtraction, etc.) I strongly encourage student's to practice at home in their free time. There is an app available for free in the App store. You may login via Google as well "Math Reflex". Student's have memorized their passwords (first two initials of their first and last name along with 2 numbers). The username is gretna green. If you have any questions, please let me know. Refer to the link below to see what the hype is all about. Cheers!

Dear parents/guardians,
Communication between teachers and parents is very important. I hope the following information will help you understand certain aspects of your child's school year experience.
Masks:
Please ensure your child has a clean mask for school. Reusable masks have been placed at all entrances if your child happens to forget or misplace their own. Hand sanitizer bottles have also been placed in all classrooms.
Phys.Ed:
Physical Education will be taught by Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Lynch once a day for 30 minutes. Please make sure your child has a pair of sneakers in order to participate. Locker rooms will not be available to our 3-5 students.
English Language Arts:
The English Language Arts will be taught by Mr. Tozer. Students will receive 150 minutes of English throughout the week.
Book orders:
Scholastic book orders will be sent home monthly. This is a great opportunity to build your child’s French library. Your orders also help us earn books for our classrooms.
Homework/Notices:
All your child’s homework and important notices will be kept in a green homework folder bag. Bags will be sent home after school. Please ensure bags are returned DAILY. Homework for the most part will include reading (books, sound sheets, poem, etc.) Homework will be due on Friday’s. On top of homework, whatever activities left undone by the end of the day and/or week will be sent home. Please ensure anything that can be sanitized i.e. book covers are cleaned prior to being returned.
*With that being said, I hope this homework bag will be easier to organize your family’s schedule, as I encourage children to get involved in extracurricular activities, play outdoors, spend time with family, etc. I do not hand out very much homework. At the least, students will have a new book to take home*
I will also be posting all information related to our class on our school’s website http://gretnagreen.nbed.nb.ca/ weekly. Please click on my teacher page Mr. Glazier. I will post class photos, videos, projects and audio files. Please keep checking my website for updates. It is very important that you verify our school website on a regular basis in order to know what is going on with your child’s daily school life and any school event(s).
Other information:
- Please send a note if your child will be absent or when there is a change in the child’s routine. Your child will be sent on the bus if I do not have a note stating that he/she should not take it.
- Please ensure your child has a water bottle.
- GG is a peanut free school.
- Please contact me via e-mail ryan.glazier@nbed.nb.ca if you have any comments and/or concerns. I teach from 8:30 - 2:25, therefore I will only be able to contact you via phone afterwards.
Thank you so much for your cooperation. Remember that I have your child’s education at heart.
Let’s work together to make school a positive and safe learning environment for all!
Cheers,
M.Glazier :)
