SPECIAL EDUCATION UPDATE Submitted by Mrs. Green

Hello all! I hope everyone is having a smooth start to their school year. This year, I am the Special Education Resource Teacher and have the pleasure of working with students in all grade levels. It’s been wonderful to catch up with students and hear about all of their summer adventures. For the month of September, I’ve been familiarizing myself with new resources, completing student assessments, and working with reading groups. I had a great experience spending time with students and families at Moose Camp. As the year progresses, I will continue to work with students for guided reading, Speech and Language interventions, Occupational Therapy related activities, and help out wherever is needed. See you around! Mrs. Green

We are excited to welcome all of new students to the school this year. We have a very busy classroom with 14 students this year! So far we have been getting into the routines school. Moose Camp was really great as we’ve been counting down the days until “Moose time” and learning about all the characteristics of this magnificent animal. It was great to see them up close and eat some yummy meat. As we were just getting back from our time out at camp we were on the go again as we journeyed to Thunder Bay, Ontario to visit Gammondale Pumpkin Farm for a day of fun. We rode a farm tractor, had duck races, climbed hay bales and even went through a spooky “Boo Barn”. We were most excited about hand-picking our very own pumpkin to take home…and stopping for Happy Meals on the way home! We can’t wait to share all of our adventures with you all in the coming months!

BOOZHOO FROM THE GRADES 1 AND 2 CLASS! Submitted by Ms. Bell

What a great year we have had thus far! We have two new wonderful additions to our classroom family. These two students have managed to join our class with ease. Everyone in the class has been learning our daily routines and enjoy singing during our morning calendar time. The class has also been learning a variety of sight word songs with actions that they enjoy singing and dancing along with. During math, most of the students regularly participate in our Math Talks and seem to be improving their mental math skills. I think one of the highlights for each of the students is their time at moose camp. They enjoyed going for quad rides and hunting with their families, they especially enjoyed playing Mantracker in the evenings. It was delightful to see each of them enjoying the land and learning their traditional ways of life. We are excited to continue to get know one another and to continue to learn together.
