International Night Friday November 13th.

Welcome to the new school year!  My name is Ian Windsor and I am your child’s teacher.  I am looking forward to working with you to support your child’s learning over the coming months.  This year will be filled with many new learning experiences for both your child and I.

In order for your child to be successful and learn, the classroom needs to be respectful and safe.  Students will be busy working on creating a set of rules that will help make our classroom a safe and happy learning environment. 

Parents and family members are important to children’s learning. Emails will be an essential means of communication for the upcoming year.  From time to time I will send emails to be read by family members. In addition, please review the homework note book with your child on a regular basis.     

If you have any questions, comments or special information for me you may write a note in the homework diary, send me an email, or you can come to see me in person.

 Classroom Supplies needed:

• 5 Pencils
• 1 Eraser
• 6 (A4 sized) notebooks
• 1 ruler
• 1 Small notebook to record homework

 Other reminders:

Class begins at 8:25 and ends at 3:30. Please send a note if you will be late to pick up your child.

Please send a healthy recess snack with your child. 

Library is on Monday mornings.  Each child may take out three books to read for the week.  These need to be returned to class on the following Monday. 

P.E. is on Tuesday and Thursday.

Only English is to be spoken in class and on school property.

Children are required to have a pair of indoor shoes.

I hope to provide the opportunities and tools to allow your child to have a successful and positive classroom experience.

 Thank You

 Mr. Windsor

In children who speak another language besides English, faster acquisition of the literacy skills in both languages takes place where the literacy skills in the first/home language are strengthened and enhanced at the same time and in consort with the learning of English literacy skills (August and Hakuta, 1997; Fitzgerald, 1995; Jimenez, et al, 1996);

For all children, the better the home is able to support the acquisition of language literacy, the faster the child acquires and exhibits language literacy in school; and

The more involved parents are in their child’s education, the more likely the child will be successful. (Snow and Tabors, 1996).

Please don't send your child to school with products with nuts.
