Welcome to Grade One Keefe! My name is Pamela Collins-Keefe and I will be your child's teacher this year. I have been teaching for 25 years and this is my 6th year at Tantallon. I graduated last year with my Masters in Literacy Education and I am excited to share some wonderful skills and ideas that I learned with your child. 

I am looking forward to meeting you and your children. I am confident we will have a great partnership together. I view the parent as a vital member of the school community, as I believe that learning does not stop when class time is over. Please feel free to contribute to our classroom and continue your child’s inquiries at home. I will be emailing a weekly newsletter to you with what we worked on during the week and some upcoming news. We always welcome guest experts and community specialists to help with our units. To learn more about our program or sign up to help in the classroom, please see me or send an email to: collinsk@staff.ednet.ns.ca  This year will prove to be a great adventure into inquiry, as we continue to develop the attitudes and skills that it takes to  become life long learners.
