About
As an educator, it is my firm belief that passion is the most influential and inspirational quality that one can possess. When a teacher is passionate about teaching and learning, that passion can have a contagious effect on children, thereby instilling a genuine love of learning.
Through my experiences at Ledbury Park, I have also come to understand the positive affect a safe, nurturing, and respectful learning environment can have on students. When students feel included, welcomed, engaged, and most of all valued as individuals, they feel more comfortable and confident in their surroundings and begin to discover the joy of learning. In our classroom, I make it clear that I intend to respect them as human beings with feelings, and I expect them to return the favour.

Hi Mr. Beattie
As an IT professional I can say that I like your blog because it has been done with passion and lots of creativity. You, somehow, have put my words together on your web and it is a pleasure reading it. In one of my previous lives I myself used to be high school teacher and I know exactly what are you talking about. Values you mentioned above are actually the things which can help kids and parents on a way to success. Additionally I would like to thank you for bringing this blog life because we can communicate at least little bit through it and look at our kids work. Even though I don’t like to play Sherlock Holmes I still believe that positive communication between teacher, on one, and parents, on the other side, can bring huge success in kid’s education. Since it is late in nigh I just would like to suggest you to give homework always, regardless if its holiday or regular day, little homework is better than no homework. We had our daughter 8 years in Ledbury School and we are somehow used to it.
We will be glad to keep in touch with you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us regarding any matter at any time.
Sincerely
Tatjana Pandza-Cejovic

Thank you for the comments and compliments. I honestly believe “it takes a village to raise a child.”

Mr. Beattie
I was a pleasure meeting you today albeit it was brief. I must say that i took away a very positive impression from tonight. From the Future Aces introduction to meeting and listening to you. it is all about character building, children learning to love themselves. Building self esteem and confidence are the gateways to learning and succeeding. Sam started life with a learning disability (we should talk about that at some point), that he has worked hard to overcome but it left its mark in his lack of confidence and self esteem. But his couple of years at Ledbury have significantly moved him along. Nuturing teachers in the last few years and then i think with you as his teacher someone that is passioante but can set expectations but be a little firmer is just what he needs. i look forward to interacting with you through the year. steven warsh
I couldn’t agree with you more about the need to build character. I truly believe students need to be taught the transferable skills of learning, over the content. Thank you for coming tonight, it was a pleasure to meet you as well. We’ll keep in touch.

Mr.Beattie,
Great info session at the school. Many of our kids have had a tough Grade 5 and I know I can speak for everyone in the class when I say…”thanks for caring” for the kids and helping them all catch up.
Appreciate your open door and fluid communication.
My husband is the Chair of Crime Stoppers and I am an expert in homelessness and an entrepreneur, We would be honored to chat to the class if you’d like to call on us. I run several homeless projects and our nexxt one is Project Winter Survival. Love to discuss and get kids engaged.
thanks again.
mr. beattie im not sure what a attribute is so i could’nt o part of my homework sorry i forgot to tell you in class.
hi,
think of it as a description – for example, a square has 4 sides – that’s an attribute or the figure has 3 acute angles – even colour is an attribute – anything that helps you to describe it – when in doubt – check the glossary at the back of the textnook or even google it for further examples
try – but not to worry
hi thank you so much mr.beattit that was a big help now and in class by the way i want to show you something tomorro in class ok bye for nnow see you tomorro genesis

REPLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
HI,
Kay i know im not in ur class anymore
but could u help me?
So i have this project where i need to make a facebook page about katness everdeen. She is a character in The Hunger games im not sure if u read it. OK anyway its like i need to include EVERYTHING about her. First to start with basic info. What do u think i should include in the basic thing?
Unfortunately, I haven’t read the book, however the basics should apply. Usually, when presenting a description for a character, one needs to include the physical basic attributes…full name, age (birthday), gender, height, colour of hair/eyes, nationality, etc…Also, perhaps you might reflect upon her basic character – as in her character traits. Is she good natured, strong willed, sense of humour, honest, brave, intelligent, polite etc…? Be sure to include examples that display her character – always try to pull information from the text – if possible make a personal connection to the character.
Better yet – Visit Facebook – I don’t have a Facebook page, but I know at the profile section, they ask things like status (married or single?), occupation, education…have a look and start from there.
Hope this helps?
thx soo much mr.beattie this really did help! By the way YOU HAVE TO READ THE HUNGER GAMES ITS THE BEST BOOK EVER!

TEHE!! (*)
can’t you just tell me some things… Im doing my speach on Canada amd being Canaidian
What is it to be a Canadian? What defines us in the world? Who are we in relation to our closest neighbour? Why do we spell colour (and others) with a letter ‘u’? What are the steryo-types? check out the Molson Canadian “Rant” on Youtube. It may give you some direction. Actually I don’t know for sure that it is there – I only assume so, because it was such an anthum when the commercial aired – have a look. BTW – I love the topic. I think it will stand out amongst the others. Remember be passionate. I’m going to see if I can find it myself.
MR.BEATTIE GUESS WHAT!!!i have a blackberry play book which is like an ipad but smaller and waaaayyyy more awsome….you should get one….even just for teaching purposes….anyways….the website is now one of my apps, so i just click on it and it brings me right to the website!!!im on it right now!!!I LOVE IT
mr beattie…can you give the class an example of the bystander effect by telling the story of kitty g?she was murdered in front of her apartment building and all her neighbours saw but most of them didn’t call 911 because they all thought sombody else was going to…..on monday
Mr.Beattie, can you give an example of the bystander affect on Monday? Look up Kitty.G and read what happened to her … It’s quite, quite sad…
have a great weekend to you, Willow. And Mrs.Beattie!!!
:D
Sasha
Happy Birthday Mr. Beattie!!!!!
