School/ Community Relationships:
Weebly Website
I created a Weebly website for the Kindergarten and Grade 7 classrooms. It is a great communication tool to keep parents informed about their children's schooling. I have included important dates, curriculum, assignments, and pictures.

Reading Buddies |
Every week my kindergarten class and the grade six class come together for reading buddies. This has been a really wonderful growing and learning experience for both classes.
The grade sixes have really stepped up and taken on a leadership role with my class. They help their buddies by asking them a series questions pertaining to book knowledge. The kindergartners look up to their buddies and are super excited when they come. |
Colleague Collabration
I have collaborated with many teachers at St. Patrick School. Their ideas and knowledge have helped shape my perspective as an educator. I consider myself a life-long learner who is very interested in professional development and cooperation with other teachers, parents, and members of the community. In my district, I have also spent time collaborating with other Kindergarten teachers. We spent the day sharing ideas, goals, and materials!
CoachingEvery year that I have been teaching, I have coached Volleyball. This experience has been enjoyable and rewarding. The St. Patrick Pythons worked very hard and won silver in the Sabres Smash tournament, in Sexsmith, and the year end tournament, in the district. Volleyball has given me the opportunity to strengthen my relationships with my junior high students.
