Melody in Fergus, Canada

Mrs. Crawford's Grade 3/4 Class
J. D. Hogarth Public School
Canada
Fergus
(Melody #013A1113)
Melody has been with us in our Grade 3/4 Classroom at J. D. Hogarth Public School for a little more than a week. During her time in our classroom, Melody has been blogging her responses to our read-aloud book “Wonder”; working on problem solving with money in math; learning French with our grade 4 students; and learning about habitats in Science with our afternoon teacher, Mr. Johnston. Our school has two floors, though our classroom is on the first floor. We talked about how Melody would be able to use the elevator if she needed to go upstairs. We also have a wheel-chair accessible washroom that is suitable for Melody. Students in our class are very good friends and advocates for Melody because we have been learning a lot about people with special needs and differences this year by reading “Out of My Mind” and the book “Wonder”. We did realize that it might be difficult for Melody to go outside in her wheel chair right now because we have so much snow in Fergus! It would also be tough for Melody to get on all of her outdoor clothing, and she would need the assistance of an E.A. (Educational Assistant). Melody was able to sleep over at a few students’ houses. Melody had fun at William’s house. At Maddy’s house, Melody got to go to a Fusion Hockey game and to her grandma’s house for lunch. She also played Groovy Girls with Maddy’s sister. At Ella’s house, Melody went to watch Ella figure skate, and she had a sleep over with Taryn, Ella’s Maplelea doll. We really enjoyed having Melody join our class, and wish her well on the rest of her journey!
We learned a little bit more about some of the locations that Melody will be visiting.
