Progress Reports

It seems like such a short time that I've been here at Indian Road Crescent, that it's hard to imagine that reports will be going home very soon. I've sent home forms for interview requests twice, but only received 10 or so back. Getting these organized will be a big job, with 29 kids in the class and several other teachers to coordinate schedules with, so please be patient, flexible, and get your preferences in as soon as possible!

We've got a couple of exciting things coming up in the next little while:

On November 10th, I'm expecting a visit from SciHigh, which will give students the chance to experiment with DNA and give the kids some insight into medical science.

On November 28 through 30, we're heading to Mono Cliffs for a few days of on-site environmental learning. Permission forms have been sent home regarding the trip and we hope to have them back promptly as well.

In late December, there's another field trip coming up as well to the National Film Board. On this trip, we'll have the opportunity to explore animation and make short stop motion films. I hope to see parents out on this trip, as it should be a good day out.

Again, I'm looking forward to having the chance to sit down and discuss student progress. Please stay in touch.
