From February through April, our class had the privilege of hosting a teacher-candidate from Lakehead University's Faculty of Education.
Miss Whipp, who is in the first year of the two-year teacher's college program, spent five Wednesdays observing in our classroom, and then five full weeks observing, co-planning and co-teaching. Miss Whipp started off her five week block teaching one subject. By Week 5 she was teaching almost full-time, in consultation with Mrs. Black.
Here are some pictures of Miss Whipp's time with us:

LITERACY
GYM & DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (DPA)

FAREWELL PARTY FOR MISS WHIPP!
This afternoon we threw a farewell party for Miss Whipp. A good time was had by all!
We want to thank Miss Whipp for inspiring us to learn, with her creative and fun lessons. We loved having her in our class and we are going to miss her!!

Ms. Black,
Thank you for sharing Ms. Whipp's professional journey with you and your students. The pictures say a thousand words about the many areas she learned about under your guidance- accountable student talk, inquiry learning, use of hands-on materials and so much more! I know that Ms. Whipp will have much to discuss and take to her next two placements in her second year!
