Weekly Update - June 15-19th

Dear Parents,

I hope that you are enjoying your weekend. First of all, I wanted to thank you for being so understanding of my having to cancel this week's google meet. Also, thank you for those of you who sent kind words and condolences - it was much appreciated.

I will be publishing this week's Hapara Workspace titled "Learning at Home - June 15 to 19th" in a few minutes with work from Mme. Caminiti and I for this week. You will notice that academic work is starting to slow down a little bit - as it would in the classroom during this time of year as well. Do what you can :)

Google Meet

This week’s Google Meet will be scheduled on:

Wednesday, June 17th. at 2:00PM

I will send an invitation to the meeting through the child’s school email a few minutes before.

You should have all the information in order to pick up your child's personal belongings at St. Anne either tomorrow or Tuesday depending on last name. Our class' belongings will be in the Gymnasium. We ask that you please follow all the protocols that were set out in the instructions to you. If you have any concerns or questions - please let me know! As per my doctor's instructions and being far along in my pregnancy - I won't be there for either pick up day but other staff will be there to direct you not to worry.

As always; any questions, comments or concerns - please don't hesitate to reach out! Have a great week!

Weekly Update - June 8-12

Dear Parents,

I hope that you are enjoying your weekend.

I will be publishing this week's Hapara Workspace titled "Learning at Home - Week of June 8-12" tonight with work from Mme. Caminiti and I for this week.

A couple of reminders:

• There will be no more weekly homework for the remainder of the school year. During this time, even if we were at school normally, I would ask the students to spend time with the families outside as the weather starts to get nicer. So enjoy :)

• As you know from Mrs. Campbell's notice - we are still expected to continue Learning at Home until the end of June. With that said, we as educators understand that it could be getting more challenging to keep the kids engaged. For the next couple weeks, we will be doing 2 language days (a writing and a reading day) and 2 math days, and then Fridays will be a fun STEM Challenge. Mme. Caminiti has some fun French activities planned too! As always, do what you can and please do not stress if it's not getting done.

Something New:

- J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter) has released a new children's novel a few chapters at a time as well as a competition opportunity for children to illustrate the book when it goes to publishing. I thought this was something cool if students are looking for something else to do. I have included the link at the top of this week's workspace. :) This is a completely optional activity. 

Google Meet

This week’s Google Meet will be scheduled on:

Wednesday, June 10th. at 2:00PM

We will be doing a little trivia game and then a short sharing circle. I will send an invitation to the meeting through the child’s school email a few minutes before.

You should have received information about retrieving student's personal belongings. If you have not received the information or have questions - please let me know!

As always; any questions, comments or concerns - please don't hesitate to reach out! Have a great week!
