I am Mrs Theona Cornish (you may call me Mrs Theona or Mrs Cornish), and I will be your child's homeroom teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. I am from Cape Town, South Africa and I am very excited to be part of the team at DSKI and even more so, to get to know your children!

This year we aspire to be learning luminaries; spreading light and positive influence while we grow in knowledge and skills.
The focus this week was getting to know each other, getting to grips with our routine and schedule, all while surviving the heat. Students got to know their classmates a little better, by doing a "Find someone who..." activity. They also got into using their language skills by writing about what they got up to during the summer break. To stretch our math brains the students completed a math activity about themselves.
They also spent time brainstorming what they would like to have included (and excluded) in our Classroom Essential Agreement. Together we have designed a set of guidelines to help govern our classroom space and guide our interactions with each other. The students came up with some fantastic thought-provoking points. We will all sign the essential agreement on Monday.

We officially start our first unit of inquiry next week and we have two more classmates joining our class as well.
Have a wonderful weekend!
