Parent Teacher Interviews

Thank you to all of the families that were able to meet with me last Thursday.  It was a pleasure to meet with  you.  If we have not had  a chance to connect yet, I would like to find a time in the next week to have a quick chat with each of you.  If you could please send me an email at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca or you could write me a note in your child's agenda.  I look forward to meeting you.  Thanks!  As always if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

and now it's October...

Things have been busy in our classroom.  As you may have heard from your child, they seem to have more than one teacher.  For a few weeks, while the school continues to settle, Mr. McVittie, our vice-principal will be in for the better part of 3 days a week teaching a variety of subjects while Ms. Strom is teaching the primary students music.

We have been working on creating our timelines in Social Studies.  Students are choosing 10 events in their lives and recording them in chronological order and they will be using a scale as well.  Additionally, they will be adding pictures to help support these events.  Pictures can be photographs, hand drawn images or other forms to support the assignment.  Also students will be researching global issues that have occurred within the same time period of their lives.

Yesterday our school took part in the Terry Fox Run.  Thanks to all who brought in a toonie for Terry.  Your efforts are appreciated.  Money raised is passed along for cancer research.  Thanks to those students who took on a leadership role in guiding the intermediate students through the run.


It's been a pleasure getting to know your children and some of the parents over the last few weeks.  Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourself.  As always, you can contact me via email at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca
