Our first class trip of the year was to Halton's Safety Village in Oakville. We listened to the Police Officer talk about traffic safety, when to call 911 for an emergency and what all the different traffic signs mean. Then it was time to go out into the mini-village and practise what we learned. Here is the village, complete with working traffic lights and mini-stores. Oh yes, the highlight was visiting the jail. I have some good pictures of that for the yearbook.
Here are our vehicles waiting for us.
And we're off! Some of us were natural drivers while a few others need to remember which side of the road to drive on :)
What a perfect day for a class trip outside!
Music
Students get their music lessons from the fabulous 'Mrs Kirk'. This week students practised an amazing song and performed it for me in perfect synchronicity. They were so proud and so was I.
(in case you are new to my blog, I never put the children's faces on this blog)
Student teacher
This year my class and I will host a student teacher from Brock University. This will be for her first term with observation time this month and one lesson taught by her in November. Eventually in December she will have a teaching block. Of course, I will always be in the room and teaching in some capacity. As well, there will be lots of opportunity for both of us to work in small groups with the children. You may hear about 'Miss Rioux' in the next little while and now you know who she is.
