Welcome back to anther wonderful school year. This year I will be teaching ELA to 6 Tozer and 6/7 Arsenault, as well as Language Arts to 6/7 Walsh and 7/8 Blakely-Doucette.
There will be many assignments throughout the year and students will have ample class time to work on these assignments. A handout will be given to each student explaining the assignment expectations. At times, if students are not done their assignment, they will have to finish it up at home. I will post homework when it is due, but each student is responsible to read for 20 minutes per night.

Mrs. G and I took our grade 7/8 class outside for the Take Me Outside Challenge. The students wrote nature poems and stories.

Because it was calling for bad weather on the Take Me Outside Challenge Day, we decided to go outside the day before and collect our supplies for our “nature heads”. Here are the kids collecting their materials and then making their craft.
