Parents,

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 :)

Welcome back to our last week of September. I would like to commend your child(ren) for an awesome and smooth transition back to our new normal. 

Few notes:

• Library will be on Tuesday's
• Orange Shirt Day September 30th
• Our class will be walking around the school grounds Friday afternoon to commemorate Terry Fox.
• Picture Day October 7th.

French - I will be reading with students this week to asses thier current levels. I am also in the process of registering students to a reading website entitled "Je lis Je lis". Passwords will be sent home once complete.

Math - We are reviewing our numbers up to 1000. Students continue to practice their basic facts on Math Reflex as well. We will begin our first unit on Patterns this week. If the weather permits, we will be going outside to create our own patterns on our walking trail to share with the class.

Let's have a great week. If you have any questions and/or concerns, please send me a note or e-mail. Cheers :)

PS If you have any pictures of special events, etc., please send them along. We will share with the class.

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 :)

Welcome back! I trust everyone had a restful long weekend. This week, I have included 2 documents. The first is Math Nature Ninja and the other French activities. The French activities range from grade 1 up to 8. They have been created by our district's immersion team. Feel free to browse the elementary activities, and chose what is most comfortable for your child. 

Please continue with past online French, math, wellness. and phys.ed programs as well. If you require any help or have any questions and/or concerns, please contact me :)

I have also provided 2 web links from ASD-N. One is an opportunity to participate in a district wide Virtual Olympic competition and the other a link to useful information and resources provided by many stakeholders within the district in regards to wellness and home learning.

P.S. A reminder that my Skype session will take place this Wednesday, May 20th at 11 a.m. An e-mail invitation was sent out to all last Friday. Information to downlaod and connect to Skype was provided as well in last week's message.
