Last evening I sent out an email to each student. It contains a parent letter, and your child's log in access.  Please try to set your child's account and begin with Dreambox learning today.  Let me know if you were successful or not in logging on.   joan.craig@nbed.nb.ca      I am having issues with my own login so I cannot view it as yet.  Hopefully I can go in an monitor progress and assign activities soon.

Hello parents and students!
Welcome to day 1 of Learning from home. I know learning has not just begun today...we're ALWAYS learning. We are learning how to stay at home, with our families day in/day out. But it is our first day to continue being a class, even though we are not together, we are all together.  I just posted a few ideas here to get started and see how this all works for you...and for me.  I am learning about this too.  But if we are all in "Flex Brains", we got THIS!

Parents, if you have any problems, please reach out... my email is associated to this Teacher Page. Children, be bucketfillers each and every day.  Help one another by being patient and taking this one day at a time.  Relax and do what you can...  

Take care, be well and HIGH FIVE for getting where we are so far!!!   From  Mrs Craig

Hello Kids

I sure miss being in the classroom with all your smiling faces and I especially miss your hugs and our little chats.  I hope you and your families are keeping well and finding this time to enjoy making family fun together.  Things are certainly different but we don't give up even when it is difficult. So try to find all the good in what is happening around us.  Read and talk about books, authors and illustrators. Look them up on their web pages so you can find out more about them.  Get outside for some fresh air and exercise but also learn about nature and our changing season. 

Beginning April 6th, I will give you some activities to do at home...just a little bit each day... to keep your minds awake and active and alive!   Love, Mrs. Craig

Valentine's Day is around the corner and I am not certazin what the weather has in store for us.  Here is a bit of information that you may find useful.  Our class has now 19 students.  In the past we suggested that you address them to "my friend" or Valentine to help make delivery easy and efficient as they just deliver one into each bag. However, here is a list of names.  Aleesha, Alice,  A.J., Bentley, Carter, Cayden, Chance,  Dalton, Ellie, Elliot, Jarett, Jake,Jack,  Jocelyn, Lydia, Mia, Rebecca, Tyson, Tyron. 

The EA's that visit our classroom are Mrs. Petrie, Mrs. Moran and Mrs. Bourque.   We will be having a little celebration that afternoon.  Even though Valentine's Day is about sweets and candy, we try to promote healthy choices so another option could be to split costs of fruit and veggie trays, cheese and crackers or other similar treats. Napkins or cups also help too!
