Hello!

I hope you all enjoyed relaxing weekends. Please note that the Leader Post page has been updated for this week.

Don’t forget that our students are away swimming Friday. Please ensure that all students arrive at school with a towel and their swimsuit.

Please be advised that I am away Thursday, April 24th and Friday, April 25th, 2008 in Saskatoon working with the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation at Spring Council.

Middle Years Conference 2008

January 15th, 2008

Just a short post to announce that I will be presenting with colleagues at the Middle Years Conference 2008. I received the notice today.

Rochelle Rugg, Lisa Nenson Catley and I will be presenting: Come Read With Me! – A “How To” Family Literacy Model. This presentation is a true “how to” presentation so that colleagues may build a reading seminar at their local school. The reading seminar was created from “The 7 Keys of Comprehension” written by Susan Zimmermann and Chryse Hutchins. This will be my second formal presentation this year and I look forward to this opportunity.

Come Read With Me

November 18th, 2007

Please note that I have added content to our Come Read With Me page. There are three additional questions that can be used to focus on the use of visual imagery with your child at home.

I hope the Reading Seminar that Madame Rugg and I have developed is something that you might find useful and that we will see you among us on the 28 or 29th of November.
