Hello,
My name is Amber Steeves and I am writing you this letter as your child’s English teacher. Every day I will be spending an hour with each of my ETFI classes this year: M. Lachapelle, Mme. Herz-Ficshler and Mme Forster’s grade 2 classes, and Mme Belanger’s grade 3 class!
This is my fourth year teaching at Broadview. Before that, I worked at Castor Valley E.S. and then Farley Mowat Public School with Mme Belanger! Having taught JK , SK
I really value parental involvement and support from home, and I will do my best to keep you informed about what is happening in the classroom. To that end, I have created grade specific English class blogs that I will be using to post weekly classroom updates, reminders, and activities.Typically, once signed up, it involves you receiving one email a week of my posting, but also allows you access to other information for your reference.
I will be taking the first few weeks of school to get to know my students, teaching routines and expectations, and doing some diagnostic assessments. I plan to determine each child’s reading level and spelling abilities so that I can begin Literacy Stations and reading groups as soon as possible! I will pass along more information about Literacy Stations and reading groups, as well as what you can expect in all other areas of the English program shortly.
If you wish to contact me about anything else, or just want to introduce yourselves, you are welcome to call me at the school. It may also be most convenient for you to email me directly. My school address is amber.steeves@ocdsb.ca. I check my email daily and it would be a rare occurrence for me not to respond the same day.
I look forward to working with you and your grade three child as the year progresses! ,
Sincerely,
Amber Steeves
