New Teacher Alert!

 

HELLO!



My name is Shenae Richards and I will be the new teacher in the EES program. I recently completed by education degree and have always had a love for special education. I am very patient, outgoing, open-minded and determined to see my students' progresses throughout the school year.  

The wonderful Miss. Heather will no longer be with us. We are sad to see her go, but a huge congratulations to her on her new journey. As I will be talking over Miss.Heather's classroom, I will like to share a bit about myself. 

I have a background in teacher special education. I am a former employee as STA (Society for Treatment of Autism), I was also an employee at Centre for Autism, did many hours of respite care with children with special needs, and lastly completely my recent practicum in an EES program where I further received a contract to stay at that location for the remainder of the school year. I am grateful to be here and work alongside with my new set of students and to finally show off my experiences and love for special education.



As I am in the process in building relationships with the students, and working hard with Heather for this to be a smooth transition for the students, this week was mainly about observations, and identifying likes and dislikes of each individual student. Students loved the small library in the Pitt stop area, and also loved the puzzle activates which were high forms of interests in the classroom. 
 
 
We also continued on working on our predictive writing. Students did an AMAZING job! I am so impressed with all of their work and efforts. 



Lastly, some reminders for the remainder of the month:

September 21  - Fire Drill 

September 22 - Terry Fox Run

September 23 - Virtual meet the teacher

September 24 - Virtual meet the teacher 

September 29 - Orange Shirt Day

September 30 - No school in recognition for National Day for Truth & Reconciliation

End of Year

 Hello parents,  The last day of school is on Tuesday June 28th.  Hello parents! This closing of one door and the opening of another. I want to thank each child for all the warmth, the memories, and the learning that we have shared this school year. To my students, I say THANK YOU! For when I teach, I also learn. This past year, we have grown together, played together, and in all, we are one big family. Regardless if you are leaving and on to great things for the upcoming year, or if you will be back for September. We are still a big family. A little bit of each of you will always be with me. Always strive to be the BEST that you can be! To the parents, I say THANK YOU for allowing me to be your child's teacher. It has been a wonderful and rewarding year for me.  Have a great summer, and to those who are leaving, I hope to keep in touch.  -Mrs.Shenae Parents, report cards will be available on June 28th.  Thank you.

Welcome back!

These first two weeks back at school have been busy and exciting! We have mostly been getting to know one another, as we have some new staff and students in our EES classrooms. We have also been focusing on learning the new classroom routines and expectations. Our students are learning about the daily schedule by sitting at their table groups to go over our large visual schedule, both first thing in the morning and after lunch. Throughout the day some students are asking questions about what is coming up next, so they are learning to reference the schedule during these times. Our days look mostly the same, as predictability and structure helps our students remain regulated, with some changes to the schedule if we have gym or music class. We have been impressed with how well the students have been doing when coming together as a whole group to do our calendar time! From day one the students have understood the expectations around sitting as a group in front of the Smartboard- WOW!  Beca

 Hello parents! It has been a while since the last blog post. A lot has happened within the last few weeks but very few changes. Since the last post, we have welcomed a new friend in the classroom and we have been so excited to see a new face in the classroom environment!  In Science, we have started to learn all about the butterfly life span. We are currently awaiting our caterpillars to arrive, but we have been introduces to learning what is a butterfly, what do they look like, and the lifespan from an egg to an adult. Students' tasks were to cut and paste the butterfly life span in order from an egg to an adult.  In math, we are practicing numbers to objects. Students have been using the online website called "Boom Cards" which is an interactive website that allows students to come up and practice their math/ LA etc goals as whole group, small group, and individual work times.  Additionally, we have been going on community walks to practice our road safety on the stree
