Dear parents,
I'd like to formally invite you to Dewson's welcome BBQ and curriculum night this Thursday evening from 5-7 pm.
Between 5 and 6 pm, you can grab some dinner and meet the other parents, students and teachers at Dewson in the school yard. Between 6 and 7 pm, we encourage everyone to visit classrooms. Salle 101 students will be prepared to give you a tour of our classroom. In addition, I will be giving a very brief presentation at 6:05 and 6:35, outlining some of our classroom routines. Please try to be around for one of those times.
I would also like to introduce two special people. Diamond Fraser (Mlle Diamond) is in her first year of her B.Ed at Glendon (York U). She will be doing an observational placement in our class this year, and will be with us each Wednesday until March. Sofia Noble-Curveira (Mlle Sofia) is a student at Central Toronto Academy, just across the street. She will be completing a co-op placement in our class this term and will be with us every morning until January.
As we don't have an ECE with our class, we are extra lucky to have two student assistants this term. Both aspiring teachers have already met our students and have jumped right in to supporting them with problem solving, interacting with them outdoors and in, and are helping with some of the tasks that I would otherwise be doing on my own (e.g., waitressing at snack, setting up centres, counting to 15 repeatedly). Please make both Sofia and Diamond feel welcome if you see them around the school.
Hope to see you Thursday!
Tamara
