About
Hi Everyone!
My name is Ms. Walgate and I'm the Grade 4/5 Teacher at Glen Dhu Public School
I grew up in Durham Region while attending both Elementary and High School in Whitby. I have three older sisters, which two of them are teachers (one teaching in Austrailia).
I attended Brock University obtaining a Degree in Psychology. While at Brock I participated in the Children’s Movement Program for students with Special needs and was a Brock “Badger” with the Ladies Field Lacrosse Team.
Upon completing my program, I enrolled in the Accelerated Child and Youth Worker Post-Grad program at Humber College. This program has given me a strong foundation supporting me while teaching. After a few years of working in a Residential Group Home I attended Teachers College at Lakehead University (in Orillia) which lead me here; a Teacher at the Durham District School Board.
I’ve taken interest and continued my education through professional development workshops and additional qualifications. I set goals, reflect and always give my best efforts. I love being a teacher, learning, growing, making connections and making a difference.
I am thrilled to work with you and your child this year!
A Little About Our Classroom
Students had the opportunity to come up with roles and responsibilities within the classroom. As a class students created specific jobs and completed a job application for 3 potential positions. Students explained what skills they have and why they would be a good fit for that job.
Ask your child what their job and role is within our classroom!
Students created goals for the year and have been displayed on our tree in the classroom. As students work and reach towards their goals we will create new ones!
