Welcome to Grade 1/2!
I am so excited about the new school year. I can't wait to meet you all and learn about new things with you this year.
I wanted to share with you some of the amazing opportunities we will be having this year. We have been very lucky to have been chosen to participate in a program called Classroom Champions this year. Classroom Champions is a year long program that is;
A kind of 21st century pen-pal, each athlete mentor adopts 3-10 classrooms per year. Focusing on their own personal journey, athletes teach about the hard work of training, goal setting, competition and perseverance. Using video lessons and live video chats, students are engaged with their athlete mentor several times per month. Our organization supports teachers by helping them incorporate these activities into their curricula, focusing on letter writing, reading, geography, math, technology, goal setting and leadership.
We have been assigned a Classroom Mentor who is an extremely accomplished athlete and has participated in this program last year. Who is our mentor you ask?
Well it's a surprise!!
You will be finding out who our Athlete Mentor will be in September, see you then.
