Miss Gill's 2017/2018 Nifty Nighthawks!!

Dear Families, I can’t believe this is my second last BLOG POST of the school year!!  I have thoroughly enjoyed communicating our news and learning with you all (my students’ families).  I thank you for being a regular follower and supporting your child’s learning (E.g., by asking them questions about their week) and reading my thoughts.  It has been a true pleasure writing these posts each week as I get to reflect upon all the neat things we're doing as a class, this brings me immense joy too!  Thank you to the families who sent in their RSVP for our Poetry Cafe.  Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday at 11:45 a.m.!  Please remember to sign in at the office with Mrs. Metheral :)    King’s Wharf Theatre: What a wonderful production of Cinderella’s Panto!   If you haven’t had the chance to see it, and may have the time to, I highly recommend this show!   It was beautifully done, and hilarious!   I ...

Dear Families, Umm, how many teaching and learning days do we have left?!  Wowie, time sure flew by!!  I can still picture the first day of school seeing the keen and bright eyes of my students :)  It's really been a fantastic experience because of my brilliant learners and their awesome parents supporting us throughout the school year!! Father's Day: Happy Father’s Day on Sunday to all the wonderful Dads out there!  I hope you enjoy quality time together as a family.  Your child is so excited to give Dad the personalized card and letter that they created. Each student worked so hard on this during the past week.  I am so proud of their final products and I am confident you will be, too.   Blue Mountain Trip: What a beautiful day we had for such a FUN and adventurous day of outdoor learning and exploring.  Thank you to our parent volunteers (Bailey, Nate, Carson, and Zach N.W.'s Moms) for coming along to support...

Wye Marsh: We had an amazing field trip in Midland this week!   The weather was fantastic and the program at Wye Marsh was outstanding.   It was very meaningful for the students as they classified different species of bugs, had the opportunity to go dip netting, learning about animal adaptations and meeting a turkey vulture named Darwin and a snowy owl named Odin.   It was wonderful!!   ...
