With the end of the year fast approaching, I would like to take a moment and thank you for all of the support, kindness, and encouragement that you have offered throughout the school year. This year has been an amazing and challenging experience. I've enjoyed working with every student and look forward to seeing them continue to learn and grow.
I wish every family a relaxing summer holiday!
Take care and many thanks!

April News
It's hard to believe that we are already moving into the third term of the school year! During our student teacher conferences the students reviewed the goals they set in November. They decided whether their goal had been met or if they need to continue to work towards that goal. The students are reminded to work towards their personal goals as well as our classroom goal of cooperation and respect.
Thank you for checking out our blog- I hope that you enjoy the April holiday!!
