A few more Monday messages

Not too much to add tonight! I was out for the morning with a doctor's appointment, so the class was left in the capable hands of Mrs. Dawe. They had their first choir class, and found out more about prefecting. Prefecting is a great activity for the students, wherein they supervise younger students at recess and lunch time.

I was happy to see some more posts on our KidBlog site today, even though it is still very much an optional "work in progress" activity. I will be expanding more on how to use the site and what my expectations are throughout the week, culminating in another "official" blog post that I will expect to have completed over the weekend.

After a bit of work on Newfoundland geography and an into to the indigenous people of Newfoundland, we will be starting a new Drama in Education. For those who had a child in my class last year, you will recognize this as the "Mr. Leblanc" role-playing activity. It will be a collaborative activity between the two Grade 5 EFI classes, and should run from Sept. 19th to October 14th. On the 14th, we will travel to Cupids to conclude our unit on early Newfoundland settlement.

See you at Curriculum night!
