Hello and welcome!

The
school
year
has
started,
and
just
as
your
children
have
settled
into
their
new
grade,
 and
new
classroom,
they
have
now
found
themselves
with
a
new
teacher.
With
 congested
class
sizes,
this
may
be
a
relief
to
some,
but
sad
for
others
as
they
leave
a
 classroom
that
they
have
grown
to
love.
I
hope
that
after
a
day
or
two,
your
children
are
 settled
in
and
feel
good
about
their
new
room
and
teacher.

I
am
excited
to
be
at
St.
 Anne,
and
the
staff
and
students
have
been
warm
and
welcoming.
I
anticipate
having
a
 wonderful
year
with
your
children.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns,
please
dont
 hesitate
to
contact
me.
I
want
your
child
to
have
the
best
possible
grade
six
or
grade
 seven
year,
and
to
quickly
address
any
concerns
that
you
have.

About Me: I have been a teacher for 13 years. Most of my classroom experience has been at a grade 5 or 6 level. I love teaching and learning, and I nd kids inspiring. I grew up in Prince Albert in a family of 6. I have 3 boys ranging in age from 3-20 years old. I love nature, photography, and art. I believe that children learn the most when they arent bored. And just in case you were ever wondering, I love pike place roast coffee from Starbucks. (just a little joke)

First Inquiry Unit: Human Rights: What are they? In this unit we will cover curriculum content from both grades in the following subjects: English Language Arts Social Studies Health Phys. Ed. Art Religion and possibly Science
