I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. I'm trying to pull some last minute things together before Wednesday comes. I'm excited nervous.
As I mentioned previously, we will be running a regular schedule starting from day one. Here is a glimpse as to what our day should look like (keep in mind that things may change depending on times, etc.)
8:30 - 9:00 - When you get to school I hope that you come find your room for the year, pick a locker, and get your stuff put away.
9:00 - Assembly (at least I'm assuming)
9:20ish - 9:40 Homeroom Time. I will share a little bit about myself and go through the schedule for the day. I hope we have time to have a class discussion about seating preferences. I'm curious as to how you prefer to work and want your input in setting up the class in a way that meets YOUR needs.
Period 2 - 9:40 - 10:25
During this time the grade 8s will have FULL band (BRING YOUR INSTRUMENTS) or Drama. Grade 7s will have library. My goal for grade 7s during this time is to choose a book that they want to read to kick off the year.
Break - 10:25 - 10:35
Period 3 10:35 - 11:15
Those in homeroom will continue working at setting up the classroom and we will then begin an introduction activity. You can start to think about symbols and ideas that you could use to represent yourself or things that you value. This will include some independent work time, as well as a whole class share.
Period 4 11:15 - 11:55
Lunch - 11:55 - 12:50
Period 5 12:55 - 1:30
Period 6 - 1:30 - 2:05
Period 7 and 8
You will have French with Mme. Levesque in Room 3.
Let me know if you have any questions about the day, or if there is anything that you feel we need to cover that I've missed. See you all on Wednesday!

Period 6 - 1:30 - 2:05
- We will all be in our classroom. This year I want to run what is called a Circle of Power and Respect (CPR) time for the first 10 minutes each morning. My reasons as to my goals, why I want to do this, and what I want this to look like (for anyone interested) can be found HERE.
- Today we will start by looking at how we will set up for this time, what this time includes, and how we will prepare for a new morning at the end of every day.
- The Theme for our first few CPR times will be: Getting Acquainted.
Period 7 and 8
