Students have their Room 204 welcome letter to share with parents. Please, both parents and students, initial or sign the welcome sheet to indicate that you have both read and understood the information shared. A TDSB package of forms (Permission, Consent, Medical Information) including a letter from Room 204 has been sent home focussing on the use of online tools such as Blogs, Wikis, Google Drive, YouTube & Twitter (@McM_MsT). Please discuss this letter with your child and return the forms before or by Friday September 8th.
Agendas: each student has received an agenda as we will be using them on a daily basis to schedule class activities, trips and team events for the school year. Remember to jot down information and check your agenda daily.
READING: students are reminded to bring a book to school to read, they are also invited to borrow books from our classroom library. DAILY reading at home is encouraged. When the school library schedule is created, we will be visiting it regularly to sign out books for enjoyment or research. The Toronto Public Library is a wonderful place to borrow and sign out books or ebooks.
MEDIA LITERACY:
INDEPENDENT: students complete their planning sheet to design a Motivational Poster based on the question "What does success mean to you?"
GROUP: designing 4 Agreements posters (Mutual Respect, Appreciation, Right to Participate, Attentive Listening)
Indoor/Outdoor Shoes: students are reminded to bring in a second pair of shoes to leave at school (in their lockers) to wear during the instructional day. This minimizes dirt on our classroom floor as we do sit on the floor often; as well as, to ensure safety in the gym during physical activities.
