Hello! Bonjour!

Dear Students:

Welcome students to Grade 5! I am your Social Studies teacher Ms. Senia (sounds like Sen-ya).  Grade 5's, my goal this year is to make your Social Studies experience as educational, engaging and fun as possible. I promise that the 2012-2013 school year will be very exciting! As a class, we are going to be accessing this Edublog. You are on the Edublog right now, how cool? There are many reasons why I chose to create this Edublog. What is an Edublog you may ask? Firstly, blogs provide a space for sharing your opinions on what you learned through statements, stories, photos, video clips and much more! An Edublog is a great space to share information related to our Social Studies unit. For the first couple of weeks, we are going to be focusing on the Canadian Government. I will be posting important links, extra handouts, activities, and much more that will be related to what we discussed in class that day and that you will be expected to read through and observe when you are at home.

Dear Parents:

Hello, parents of these wonderful Grade 5 students, I encourage you to access this blog with your children; please browse through the webpages and keep up with the postings :) I have linked my Twitter account to this page as well. You can locate the link at the bottom right corner of this page. I understand that you may not feel comfortable with your children creating their own Twitter accounts and that is fine. They will not necessarily need one as long as they access this Edublog. However, the Twitter account I created for this class will be useful and will feature additional links for extra practice and learning information on Social Studies topics. Thank you for your time :)

Ms. Senia
