It seems like our school year is off to a great
start. There is a lot of enthusiasm and great new ideas throughout the
school. Pirate day, pizza day, cake walk, school blog, Terry Fox run all
have been great fun and very well supported by our school community.
My favorite part of the week is buddy reading. This year the Grade Threes
and Kindergarten class are paired up. We incorporate Daily 5 into this
time. Kindergarten students read to their big buddy and study their
letters. Grade Three students read to their Kindergarten
buddy. We also include some file folder work. I joined a pair of
boys struggling with opposites. I was trying to model to the grade three
student how to prompt the Kindergarten student to get the correct answer and I
said to the student, "If you're not old you're..." Of course he
answered "Happy!"... Can't argue with that!

| It was with a very heavy heart that we learned the news of Gail Benson's passing on September 27th. I wish I could have said goodbye, but the key lies therein. Gail wasn't planning to leave. She was planning to get well and be back at school with the children she loved. After thirty years of serving our school and community she will be immensely missed. I miss Gail so much already, her generosity, observations, knowledge, humor, advice, and encouragement are irreplaceable. I will keep looking for your little red car and your blue coffee mug. Missing you dearly… |
