Welcome Groups 41&42 *2016/2017*

Welcome Groups 41&42!
Ms. Telishewsky’s Grade 4 Blog

A big hello and welcome to all my new students and parents for the 2016/2017 school year!!! I am the homeroom teacher for group 41 (room 207) as well as the Math and English Language Arts instructor for groups 41 & 42. Until the month of December, I am happy to be working with Miss Kathryn, a student teacher from McGill.

During the school year, I will be posting homework and announcements on this blog. I will update it during the week if necessary. Mme Gallant and I are working on a special project this year: The Paper Friendly Classroom. We each have a class set of Google Chromebooks we will be using regularly in class. Some assignments will be assigned through Google Classroom; an educational free web based platform and learning network that we will set up at school. Students can access their work from anywhere using the Google Classroom app. I encourage you to use the link found on my page to learn more about it. I will be getting the students started on it this week.
I am sending home an invitation for both students and parents to make a Class Dojo account. You will be able to keep up to date with your child’s behaviour and receive messages from me.
*School fees must be sent in this week*

For my homeroom Group 41, the students glued a schedule into their agendas.
Group 41: Gym will be on Monday and Wednesday
(A pair of running shoes used solely for the gym are necessary)
                  Library: Monday

Group 42: Gym will be on Monday and Thursday
(A pair of running shoes used solely for the gym are necessary)
                  Library: Tuesday

Please read through the agenda this week. Fill in the student information area. Go over the rules with your child. Sign all the appropriate areas: pages PE 13 & PE 14. Please ensure you read and sign the SWL Computer Policy and Online Safety link.

Please label the Math book and Language Power.

Notes:
· Scholastic is a homeroom responsibility. I will send the envelope home for Gr.41, French and English. Remember Scholastic only accepts cheques or you may pay online. No CASH please.
· Please bring in a reusable water bottle every day.
· Curriculum Night will be held Thursday September 15. I will discuss our program and give insights into our daily class life.

Let’s make 2016/2017 a wonderful school year!
