Last Day ‘In The Field’

It’s hard to believe and I know that you are feeling both relief and regret that Wednesday, December 9th, is your last day in the field for this semester.

We have a few reminders for you to make note for Wednesday:

• Thank your cooperating teacher for inviting you into his/her classroom (sometimes it is nice to give a thank-you card or Christmas card but that is a personal choice)
• Discuss ideas and share your brainstorming of ideas for your March Teaching Block (so you know what you can be reading, researching and thinking about over the break)
• Arrange two ‘New Year’ visits to the classroom on January 15th (either a.m. or p.m.) AND February 5th (either a.m. or p.m.) so you can keep in touch with the children and maintain relationships while you are planning for the March 8th to 26th block. You do not have to teach a lesson on these  two days but you may want to ask for a bit of time to do a story or activity or maybe something that could be an ‘invitation to learning’ that excites them (and that they feel they have had input into) as to what is coming in March.  You are to be at the school for one half-day on each one of these days but it does not matter which half day you attend (whatever is most convenient for your cooperating teacher & students).

Playing with Technology

I have the main computer lab booked for a ‘Play with Technology’ session on Friday, Dec. 4th at 12:30 to 2:30 (but you can leave anytime). Anyone from Section 10, 20 and 40 is welcome to come! Several people have indicated interest in creating their own blog so that will be the focus at 12:30 but once everyone starts working I am open to helping you with whatever.

Hope to see a few of you this Friday. We will schedule more of these sessions next semester.

Thank You From Section 10!

Hello everyone!  We just wanted to send a HUGE thank you to everyone for supporting our efforts to help Carmichael Outreach!  We were able to raise over $2000, over 100 bags of clothing, and around 15 bags/boxes of food, household supplies, and toys; and we couldn’t have done it without the support of the university and community.  We were extremely grateful for this opportunity to do some good in our community, and Carmichael was very appreciative.  However, things do not need to end here!  Carmichael can always use volunteers and donations, and we hope that we have built a lasting relationship with this organization.  Thanks again for your support!!

One more cancellation…

In recognition of the time that it will take for you to prepare for your “Process of Becoming” conversations, we have decided to make one more change to our calendar. We had planned to gather all 3 sections together on Friday, December 4th for a P.L.A.C.E. Celebration: A Time of Giving but have now decided to CANCEL and reschedule a ‘PLACES Shape Our Identity” Winter Celebration instead.

We understand you have a lot of assignments to complete and want to make sure that you have ample time to do an excellent job of your portfolio and preparing for your conversation.

You will come into the ‘review meeting/conversation’ with a well-prepared 15 minute presentation  so you need to be clear, concise and creative in your design/approach.

We look forward to seeing your portfolio, hearing your 15 minute ‘conversation’, and feeling your passion for teaching and learning.

Update on Fundraisers – Section 10

Hello everyone!  We wanted to let you know about some of the recent

2. Tuesday, Nov. 24, we are having a popcorn sale from 11:30-12:30, also in the Riddell Centre. Be sure to stop by and have some snacks for a great cause!
3. Also, we have extended our clothing and food drive until Nov. 26th. Carmichael is particularly in need of men’s clothing, toys, books, diapers, blankets, and non-perishable food items.  If you have any items to donate, they can be dropped off at the bins by the Rainbow pit.
4. We are still selling tickets for our steak night on Nov. 25th

You get a 7 oz steak, baked potato, choice of salad, and a glass of domestic beer (or pop).  $10 of the ticket cost is going directly to Carmichael.  We are also holding a 50/50 and collecting non-perishable food at the steak night.

If anyone would like to purchase tickets, or would like more
information, you can leave a comment here on the blog or contact
someone from section 10

Special Invitation from Section 10

 

Until November 19th some students from section 10 will be collecting non perishable food items and clothing in bins located at the Rainbow Pit in the Education building.  We are also hosting a steak night on Wednesday Nov. 25th at the Hub.  We are collecting these items and raising money to donate to Carmichael Outreach, which is a non profit organization trying to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate in Regina.

Please help out where you can, and if you have donations or questions feel free to contact members of section 10.
