Mrs Fuerth's Classroom
Our Fab 4 Class!
Educational Assistant: Mrs. Cindi & Mr. Dave
My name is Mrs. Fuerth and I will be the Class 4 teacher this year. I am very honoured to have the opportunity to work with our wonderful students and their families as we venture through an exciting school year! The greatest reward of teaching comes not from the impact we have on the lives of others but from how they will impact us; every day as we teach our students they too, are teaching us. I look forward to new inspirations, learning adventures, and discoveries together as we make our way through a very fun year! Joining me are our amazing Educational Assistants, Mrs. Cindi Ruthven and Mr. Dave Zeman who together bring decades of experience and extremely kind hearts. We are very lucky to have them with us and are looking forward to working with all of you. We are always here for support so please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything at all. Together we will continue to make great things possible!

About our Program
Our program consists of many opportunities for students to explore math and literacy in whole class, small group, and independent learning settings. During whole-class learning, students engage with their classmates, participate in group discussions, and practice turn-taking. In our classroom, we use whole group learning circles to read stories and teach or reinforce new skills and concepts.
Small group learning is ideal for teaching specific skills to a few students focusing on individualized differentiated instruction. Individual learning gives each child opportunities to work on activities based on their individual learning plans. Technology and play-based learning are often used in independent learning as a motivational tool. We love to explore in our class through the use of robotics.
Another huge part of our program is core communication. Core language is modeled for the students consistently throughout the day using both a communication board and NuVoice. Students are also encouraged to use core communication in their daily interactions through oral language, core communication boards, Minspeak devices, and Step by Steps.
