Halloween Note

As you know tomorrow is Halloween. Our class will be having a Halloween party at the end of the day from 2 until 2:50.  During this party snacks will be provided and the movie The Incredibles will be played. If students wish to bring other snacks welcome to do so but not required to do so.  The snack they bring should be an extra snack for themselves for this occasion due to allergies and healthy food rules in the York Region District School Board. This snack must be nut free.

Sadly  I will not be there as my wife's grandfather recently passed away and we will be attending his funeral in New Brunswick on that day.  Halloween is one of my favorite days and I wish all the students in my class A happy and fun filled Halloween and I am excited to hear how the trick or treating and other Halloween activities went upon my return.

Happy Halloween!

Sharing Days

Sharing Days

This year as part of our oral speaking program we will be doing sharing days. The goal of sharing days is  to practice our oral speaking skills on subjects that we already know a lot about. These are days where the students will be asked to bring in something to share either about themselves or on a topic of my choosing.  For example the first sharing day will be on and item the students have at home that they are proud of or is unique to them.

Other topics we will share about include but are not limited to:

• Family artifact or tradition
• The students favorite celebrity or hero
• A hobby that they can teach us about
• Items they have on their bucket list
• And more!

I will be marking each of these presentations using the oral speaking rubric that I posted on the Block and September and is attached below. Each time a new presentation comes about I will model to the class what is expected and give a week long period for the first presenters to get ready. Each presentation is expected to last between 3 to 10 minutes and will take place on day 5.  We will be doing four presentations per day meaning that each student will present about once every two months. before any presentations we will create a schedule as a class that is rotating so the same students will not go first each time and students will know the date they are presenting on.

Thank you,

Gareth Hussey
