Are the kids getting music class?
This year the kids are doing music with me in the classroom. Ms. Brooks has retired so we have lost her specialty in that area. Mrs. Poirier will be teaching health to the students as well as being the librarian. She is a fantastic teacher and her library time will help to reinforce my language program.
Will you be doing any phonics with the kids this year?
I have to be honest, doing phonics in isolation is considered bad practice by the TDSB. Children learn best when all parts of language are melded into the program and not taught in isolation. I know there are many teachers who still do it that way but with such limited time in the day, spending so much time on just one aspect of language learning isn't the best use of our time.
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.
