Up to January 5th, 2015

Dear Parents, Guardians and students:
   
     It has been an absolute pleasure working with such amazing students each day. I find it difficult to believe that we are already saying goodbye to 2014!  I am certain that 2015 will be wonderful as well.

     Students are encouraged to read over the Christmas break.  I will be reading at least 2 hours a week too, so feel free to check in with me to make sure that I am meeting expectations.  :) We will motivate each other to meet or beat our reading rates in 2015.

     I would like to thank my students for their kindness and enthusiasm each day. I truly love teaching at Summerside Intermediate. It is my sincere hope that you like it here too. Looking forward to learning together in 2015.

Happy holidays!
Mrs. Thain :)

Grade Seven Persuasive Essays have been impressive...make that convincing thus far! :) I have truly enjoyed witnessing your progress.  Thank you for your patience as it takes me quite some time to correct four class sets of essays.  I am almost done so results will be posted in SAS as soon as possible.  :)
Grade 8 Informational Essays due next week, the 11th and the 13th.  Please see me if you have any questions. 
Thank you and have a great day!
Mrs. Thain
