Good evening everyone!



Message to Parents
This year we have spent a lot of time speaking about Mental Health and Well-being.  It has been a theme in our classroom.  Next week, on February 27th, we will be welcoming into our class one of the YRDSB social workers.  Students will have a presentation which will complement much of what we have learned about in class this year - mental health, stress, developing healthy coping strategies.  They will also be speaking about who you can go to for help if they ever need it.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.

CLASSROOM UPDATE!
Our room tonight was left very poorly - and this was after all our discussion about respecting our caretakers.  People left papers all over their desks, snap cubes on the floor, pencil crayons on the ground, etc..  Therefore, the new rule is that nobody leaves the classroom at the end of the day until the entire room is completely clean.  I will give you plenty of time to clean up, like I always have.  If everyone does their part, we will be done well before the bell rings.  I look forward to being able to remove this stipulation.  We must be more responsible.
