Thinking of all of you-

Hello All You Hum 9er’s!

The last official day of classes has come and gone and I already feel a void in my heart. I have had a great year teaching you and more importantly- learning from all of you. You all have taught me so much about yourselves as learners and what I can do as an educator, to better assist you in your learning journey.

We have learned a lot about specific information in social studies, and how to write and read better in English, yet for me, this year was also about understanding and honouring who we all are as learners and how to advocate for ourselves. In reflection, I know that each of you have come far in both your personal and educational journey and I thank each one of you for allowing me to come along with you.

When you return next year, please do come find me and say hello, as I will miss you and how lovely it will be to hear from you.

I wish you all a summer filled with joy, happiness and most of all FUN!. Hopefully you'll pick up a something to read along the way and when you do, I hope you will stop and think of all the reading strategies you have learned and put them to use. I also hope that you continue to advocate for yourself and most importantly- Believe in yourself; I know I believe in each and every one of you. You are all capable of greatness. Be the change you want to see in the world (Mahatma Gandhi).

My best to you-
Most sincerely,
Ms. Minuk

PS: Keep Humming Along,

For the Week of March 30th

We are going to continue reading Iqbal as well as researching our topic of child labour. Please remember our goal to produce two products: 1.) An informational brochure explaining what child labour is, a specific type of CL you wish to champion, and how people can help; and 2.) An artistic expression of the message you wish to spread on CL. See above, Thursday, March 26th, for more details.

  4. On Friday Mrs.Watson and you said that on the blog, there would be a section to put the "connections" that we have made over the weekend for homework. I was just wondering where abouts this section to put our connections on or if you had decided to continue with it in class instead of the blog.
