Welcome to Mrs. Piroddi's Grade 4/5 class.  It has been a pleasure to get to know all the students this week and settle into routines and expectations.  This week we got to know each other through activities and writing.  We also made name tags, discovered our surroundings and classroom, played some outdoor games (Jacks, chalk obstacle course, playground games, tag games and hand clap games), and met our fellow classmates in Pod 2 through a mini-art-rotation on Thursday.  Students also discussed why expectations and rules are important, their role as a student and my role as a teacher and what makes us calm when things become frusterating or stressful.

Looking forward in the year to come!!!
