September 2, 2017 Dear Parents, Welcome to an exciting year in M. Corsi’s class! What I believe about teaching and learning I believe that teaching is a lifelong process of learning. The more we know the more we realize how little we know and how many more things we can learn. One of my aims in teaching is to impart the joy of learning to my students and promote a growth mindset. I am committed to providing a program which achieves the highest expectations possible. My goal is to master educational objectives with activities that are exciting, fun and meaningful to the students. I will support every student in their learning so that each child reaches their full potential. Styles of Teaching Used I am an eclectic. I do not subscribe to one teaching method over another but rather try to integrate a variety of teaching methods and styles, traditional as well as innovative. I provide a balanced literacy program where activities are modelled, shared, guided, and completed independently. Higher order thinking skills are taught and students learn to activate prior knowledge, make connections, question, visualize, infer, summarize, synthesize, and evaluate information. Different students learn best in different ways. Therefore instruction is differentiated to better meet the needs of all students. Different activities allow students to engage in learning through verbal and linguistic expression, logical and mathematical thinking, visual and spatial props, bodily movement and sensations, music, interpersonal relationships, personal reflection, and relating to one's environment. Students receive at least 20 minutes of structured daily physical activity as a healthy body promotes a healthy mind. General Operation of the Classroom We have 4 classroom rules: Do not hurt anyone. Do your best. Do not talk when the teacher or a student is talking to the class and whisper when you’re doing your work. Once to three times a day I pick a student’s name out of a cup and if they have been following the class rules I reward them with a sticker or small prize. When a student has difficulty following the 4 rules I may have them walk with me at recess to help them reflect upon their behaviour and refocus towards a more positive direction. The Physical Classroom Students are colour coded into groups. Depending on the activity they work individually, in pairs, in their groups, or as a whole class. Sometimes they work individually or in small groups with me, older buddies, a co-op student, a French adult volunteer, a senior community volunteer, or a volunteer parent. Some activities are done at the student’s desk. Other activities take place in circle time on the floor. Use of Resources In French Language Arts I am using the GB+ (Benchmarks) readers and a wide variety of other resources. Grade 2 Core English is being taught by Mrs. Whitney. Math programming is implemented using visual charts, discussion, problem solving, hands-on manipulative centres, and traditional pencil and paper activities. Several resources are used to create a Science and Social Studies program. Health, Drama, Dance, and Music are being taught by Mme Hawley. Much time and effort is spent in planning activities to ensure that all programming reflects the expectations of the Ontario Curriculum. Parents will receive a newsletter describing what we are doing on a regular basis. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, or would like to talk further about long-range plans and curriculum, please feel free to contact me. I consider it a privilege to be involved in your child’s growth and look forward to knowing you better. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Peter Corsi Jr. Classroom Teacher

I have been a teacher for 24 years and am new to CR Gummow this year. I recently left Brighton Public School where I taught for 14 years. I have also taught at Kent Public School in Campbellford and Waverley Public School in Bownmanville. I taught grade one for a number of years, but my true passion is working with special needs students. I taught the LLS class for the past 6 years and very much enjoyed that position. I am now the primary SERT and am excited about learning this new role. As many of you know, I raise monarch butterflies with my students every year. During the summer months, I travel throughout Ontario, and sometimes to the US, teaching workshops to other educators so that they can share this same passion with their students. I have a monarch waystation (butterfly garden) at my home and am hoping to create one at Gummow in the near future. My other passion is animal rescue. I work with a local rescue called K9 Crusaders. We save homeless animals and place them in foster homes until their forever homes can be found. I also run an animal transport group called Critter Cabs. Using a crew of volunteer drivers, we help rescues throughout Ontario get the animals they are saving from pounds safely to their foster or adoptive homes. I am also a barbershop singer. I sing with an award-winning chorus in Oshawa called Durham Shores. Barbershop is 4-part harmony, acapella singing. This is a hobby I very much enjoy and keeps me from working too hard! My husband and I have been married for 25 years and have three grown children, a son and two daughters. Our son works full time and our twin daughters are attending university. We are very proud of all three of them!

I have been an educator since 1988 and began my career teaching English and math at a high school in Northwestern Ontario. I have worked in six schools (two secondary, one K-12, and three elementary) in my career and had the pleasure of working for the Ministry of Education in Thunder Bay for two years. I have two children, both in secondary school, and am looking forward to my first year as principal at C R Gummow PS.

I have been teaching for 29 years! I taught grade 7 and 8 at Roseneath Centennial School for 13 years then transferred to C.R. Gummow the fall of 2002. I changed divisions when I changed schools and have been teaching grade 5/6 or 6 since moving to Gummow. My husband teaches math and computers at Port Hope High School. My oldest son graduated from Carleton University in the spring and is now working full time. My middle son is studying Math at Carleton University and is currently on a coop work term. My youngest son is in first year Business at The University of Toronto.
