Back in the classroom for the first time in four years I think. Should be super exiciting. I am a member of the French Bilingual team. I’ll teach one grade 5 class and one grade 6 class. Which means, I get some of my favourite units.
We’re starting off the year with the designing urban spaces unit. I can’t wait. We’re still in the coplanning stages of the unit. But we’re still going to use a map making idea to share our thinking about how a place should be designed.
In grade 5 we’re looking at electricity and how we can make more sustainable choices. So I think it will be a great start to the year.
More importantly (maybe) being back in the class means a more regular schedule which gives me more time to reflect on here.
