Welcome to a new school year. My name is Melissa Nichols-McConnell. Students call me Mrs. McConnell. I am enjoying getting to know your children and look forward to working with you to support their learning.
I will be adding information and pictures so please check this site frequently.
If we have an indoor recess due to rain I will provide a wide variety of games and play materials to encourage students to play together. I have banned tech devices during indoor recesses. Being in school provides students with a wonderful opportunity to interact socially with peers so students will be encouraged to play games and do crafts together. Here is an interesting article I found in case you are interested: http://www.psychologytoday.com/files/attachments/1195/ajp-decline-play-published.pdf
Mathematics Assessments will be given to grade 4 students the week before Thanksgiving. It is very important that your child is in school on these days. It is also important that your child is well rested and arrives on time.
I will be sending gym clothes home on Fridays so that parents can wash them and return them for gym on Monday. It is important that your child bring a change of clothes for gym.
