Hello families!
My name is Mrs. Ellis and I am your
child's kindergarten teacher this year. I would like to take this opportunity
to share with you a little bit about myself.
I am a graduate of the Masters of
Child Study and Education program at the University of Toronto, focusing on an
inquiry-based approach to learning in the early years.
Beginning in 2009, I was a guitarist
and vocalist for the children's educational musical group, Leading
Notes; performing for over 1500 children across Toronto and the GTA.
In 2011, Leading Notes released their first CD, "Just a Walk in the
Park," sold at Indigo Bookstore locations throughout Toronto.
I have worked with the Peel Board as
a Music teacher for grades K-5, and as a Primary Art and Drama teacher.
Through my graduate studies, along
with the Pelletier Research Lab (University of Toronto), I co-authored a
publication titled, “Using
Photographic Picture Books to Better Understand Young Children’s Ideas of
Belonging: A Study of Early Literacy Strategies and Social Inclusion” published in the Journal of Canadian Children, in
the Child Study section, Spring 2013 issue.
I am looking forward to an exciting
year ahead in Kindergarten and sharing the learning and excitement of our
program with you through our blog.
