Dear Families of Team 72,
We have had a great week getting to know the children and
are very excited for the year of learning together ahead of us.
Job Share Teachers
Mrs Collins and Ms MacMillan are a job share team. That means we share the teaching
responsibilities for this class. We
have both spent this first week of school together with the students to build a
sense of community. Our schedule for the
remainder of the year is Mrs Collins will be teaching Monday and
Tuesday, Ms MacMillan will be teaching Wednesday and Thursday. We will be alternating teaching on
Fridays. We maintain very close
communication with each other and are committed to providing an excellent
academic and social environment for your children.
Meet the Teacher
Night
Our first Parent – Teacher meeting is September 22 from 6:30
to 7:30pm. We are looking forward to
meeting you as well. Should you need to
contact us prior to this evening please call the school 403 777 6267 or email
us lgmacmillan@cbe.ab.ca or clcollins@cbe.ab.ca. We will be sure to respond to you within 24
hours during the work week.
Blog
We use a daily blog to communicate about your child’s day
and school news. You can find the link
to our blog via the Cranston School website under Teacher Blogs or go directly
to cranstonteam72.blogspot.ca. Please review these messages daily for
important information.
Volunteers
We are very excited to welcome parent volunteers with a
current police clearance to help out throughout the year. Please contact us if you are able to help out
in the classroom, on field trips or for special events.
Class Leader
Students will be taking turns being the Class Leader of the
day. We will post whose turn it is in our blog. In addition to helping out in the room they
are allowed to bring one item that fits in their backpack to share in a “Show
and Tell” public speaking opportunity with their classmates. Please do not send anything breakable or
irreplaceable.
Home Reading
Home reading is a very important part of helping your child
learn to read. Our home reading program
will begin September 22, 2016 and we will send more information on the date.
Raz Kids and
Mathletics
Our school has purchased accounts for each student to use an
online reading and math practice website.
These sites provide excellent practice opportunities for students to
develop their skills in a fun and interactive way. We will have the login and password
information to you by September 30th so your child can participate
at home.
See you the evening of September 22nd. We are looking forward to a great year
together!
Ms MacMillan and Mrs Collins
