It's a pleasure to be here...

Thank you for making me feel so welcome!

The students in Room 203 have been so helpful and respectful since I arrived in their classroom on Thursday.  I am very excited to spend the next couple of months working with these brilliant children as we explore, learn, play and grow together.  

I've had the pleasure of meeting a few parents already and I'm looking forward to speaking with more in the future. 

I will be updating this blog regularly.  Please visit often if you have any questions about homework, upcoming events, spelling words or what we're up to in Room 203.

    1. Hi Ayesha,

      You've really made me think! Okay, my favourite colour seems to change all the time depending on my mood. I think right now, I'm going with orange.

      I love Caribbean food. My mouth is watering right now thinking about jerk chicken, doubles and roti. I'm a big fan of spicy food.

      My favourite sport...that's a tough one. Right now I'm curling and I really enjoy that but I love to watch basketball and baseball. I also love going to different colleges in the United States to watch football games.

      I just watched Rise of the Guardians and loved it.

      I'm looking forward to reading your answers!
