Welcome to Grade 3!

Welcome to Mrs. Daley-Creamer’s Grade 3 class blog!  I am so excited to meet my new students and to welcome back some familiar faces! Actually quite a few familiar faces. I recognize most of the names from my Gr. 2 Math group! I also have two kiddos from my Gr. 2 class from last year coming along for the ride with me this year!  And let me just say I am very excited that I get to keep them for another year! We are going to have an excellent year together and I am looking forward to working with my students and their families.

I would like to take this time to introduce myself.  My name is Mrs. Ashley Daley-Creamer and I will be your child’s grade 3 teacher for the 2015-2016 school year. I have been teaching in the district for quite a few years now and I am very familiar with the grade 3 curriculum as the majority of my teaching experience has been at the K-3 level. I've taught Gr. 2 for the last four years and I am very excited to get back to teaching Gr. 3. I graduated with degrees in Arts and Education from the University of New Brunswick Saint John.

I am from Quispamsis and I love living in the Kennebecasis Valley. I live with my husband Matthew and our naughty dog Dingo. He is a basenji and has more energy than a room full of third graders! I love telling stories about Dingo's shenanigans to my class.

My learning philosophy is that each child is unique, and each child learns in a different way. I believe in hands-on experiences, learning creatively and learning though play. My two favorite things to teach are Math and Writing. I hope my students like those two things because we will be doing A LOT of both!

 I am a firm believer in open communication between home and school as it is necessary for maximum school success.  During my time with your child, I will communicate with you as much as possible.  Students will have a homework folder in which I will put any notes or reminders.  This folder is to be returned each day and you may also use it to send me any notes as well.  If there are ever any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to email me ashley.daley@nbed.nb.ca. I can also be reached through the school at (506)847-6206 or you can send me a note in your child's homework folder.I am really looking forward to getting to know you and your child!

I update this blog often so please be sure to check in. Please be sure to check out the site links along the side of the page. These sites are all very fun and geared towards children in grade 3.

I hope to see you all at Fairvale's Annual Back to School BBQ taking place on September 2nd at 6 pm. Please drop by the classroom, say hello, leave any school supplies, and grab a bite to eat!
