Welcome Back to School!




I hope everyone had a great summer!
I’m looking forward to a fun year teaching grade 3!

Each month, please visit this website to find out what’s going on in room 226 and at the school.
I will also post student work and other photos.

School starts at 8:00am, and ends at 2:30pm.

Writing in your child's agenda is the best way to get in contact with me. 

Students will bring home a book and a red 
At Home Reading Folder each night. Please read with your child every night and help them remember to bring the book and folder back to school each day. 

Please remember to send indoor shoes with your child to help keep our school and classroom clean.

Help your child pack a healthy lunch, with no peanut or nut products.
