WELCOME BACK to school and welcome to Division 2. My name is Linda Wilson and I will be your grade 6/7 teacher. I am so excited about our year together. I look forward to reunions with last year's students and parents and getting to know new students and parents. Why a class site? The key purpose for this class site is communication but it is not a substitute for a student planner. Students are still expected to maintain individual planners to practise independence and responsibility. This site includes the day's events, as well as homework reminders and activities. It informs students and parents of our daily work and is especially valuable for those students who are absent. I often include a homework question for review, preview, or assessment of knowledge or understanding of a concept. You will see the word 'POST'. Feel free to browse past posts and comment on today's question. When you have a specific personal question that is not meant for the whole class, please email Ms Wilson: [email protected] Reminders: Over the next few days we will be focussing on classroom and school community building, reviewing routines and expectations, as well as organizing our notebooks, supplies and classroom. For example, last week we practiced bringing inside shoes and a novel to read and remembering to take off your hat at the door. Let's see if everyone can follow these expectations and continue this routine throughout the year. You do not need to bring your entire year's supplies but this week you will need your binder, 1 pack of paper, dividers, English dictionary, French-English dictionary, 6 exercise books, 2 duotangs, stickies, gym strip and pencil case with 2 pencils, eraser, 2 pens, highlighters, colouring pencils, felts, scissors, glue and ruler. I will be giving you a planner and a folder that will be used daily for transporting notices and loose paper for homework. POST: What are some of your wishes (hopes, dreams, wants) for this school year? (This can be individual, for the class or for your school community) Homework:
a. How many times I worked out this summer. b. How many cm tall the weeds are in my yard right now! c. How many times I've been to Disney World. Now it's your turn! Here are some photos from our first week of school. Our brain break at the end of the day...4 corner soccer.

GAHHH! I cannot even put today into words. I loved seeing all of the new people in our class and loved having a couple of laughs together. I really do think this year will be one to remember. I really wish and hope that this year we can have a lot of learning and field trip adventures this year! I also really want to do a lot of projects and group work where we can all bond and get to know each other a lot more! Hope you guys had as much fun as I did!

Love your quote Tyler! Just like you to present those thoughtful ideas. Speaking of field trips...pass the word as we are planning to send a notice home for a Grouse Grind trip this Friday. Not much notice so we need to ask immediately and politely for parent drivers.

I loved the science we did last year as well. I would like to challenge you to take leadership in this area and feel free to direct some learning in this area. It is your passion and your classmates would benefit from any sharing you would like to do. eg. a weekly informative blog, demonstration or experiment. It could even be a "Did you know...' kind of piece on our class site. Think about it and let me know.

My idea of a perfect teacher is a teacher that allows us to have lots of P.E. time, as well as helping us and understanding us. Also, the perfect teacher is a funny teacher. But, we already have the perfect teacher. So, what more could we ask?
