What a great job you have done getting routines established. You radiate so much positive energy in your classroom it is lovely to see. The children are engaged in their learning and you have targeted the learning needs. I really like the science table you have in the class where your children’s sense of wonder is driven. I am looking forward to coming in and seeing you and your kids over the year.

It is lovely to see the enthusiasm for taking on your OWN class. You and Rebecca are clearly communicating well and the children are relaxed and happy. This is a great commendation to both of you.   Linda Woon Principal

Congratulations on a wonderful writing lesson. I especially the very clear intention of lifting the expectation in vocabulary and not just relying on the word mats. Thank you for taking the opportunity for children to write in another genre.
