Ms. Delfin’s Teaching Philosophy:

1. Cultivating a love for truth, goodness, and beauty in the classroom and beyond
2. Creating a classroom where each student respects and cares for one another
3. Helping students discover their God-given gifts, and encouraging them to share them with the community

Homework:

• Reading at home for at least 30 minutes a day.
• Students will write their homework and other important information in their planners. Parents/guardians are required to sign their child’s planner to ensure both students and parents are aware of the homework assigned.
• Students may also have assignments where they need to recite a poem, a story, or a presentation. Please encourage students to practice public speaking in front of a mirror or in front of an audience (such as their family, some stuffed toys, etc.) so they can feel more comfortable speaking in front of the class.

Tech Devices

• For those who bring devices from home, please make sure they are labelled with your child’s name and that s/he brings earbuds/headphones and charging cords every day.

Physical Health Education class (a.k.a P.H.E or P.E.)

• Every Monday and Friday mornings (first class of the day, 9:00am to 10:00am), and Wednesday afternoons (last class of the day, 1:30pm to 2:30pm). On Monday and Friday, students are advised to wear their P.H.E uniform and sneakers/running shoes coming to school.
• P.H.E uniform can be the following: sneakers/runners, P.H.E shirt and shorts with St. Anthony logo, Walk-a-thon t-shirts.
•  Please remember that P.H.E class requires sneakers/running shoes, and the rest of the day requires black school shoes.

Administrative Information

• If your child is sick, please keep them home until s/he is feeling better.
• Please make sure that all of your child’s uniform items are labeled with his/her name.

I am excited for our school year ahead, and once again, welcome!

Warm regards and God bless,

Ms. Delfin
