Levita Morados
Grade 1/2 Teacher
Boozhoo! I am Levita, but to some students I'm known as "Ms. Vita" for short. I am originally from the Philippines, where I completed my education, and I love teaching — my passion for it grew as I continued to study for higher education, so I could help students hone their skills and learn at their own pace.
I am pleased to be part of this school community, and I look forward to creating a calm, welcoming, and organized classroom where every student feels welcomed, encouraged, and supported each day.
Welcome to Our Classroom
Boozhoo! Welcome to our Grade 1/2 classroom at Henry Coaster Memorial School! This new school year, I am so excited to be your child’s teacher.
To our dear parents and guardians, I am honored for the opportunity to teach your children. Our classroom is a place where we will explore new things, create amazing memories in the class, have a wonderful time learning and growing together, and where they will feel safe. Let’s get ready for an incredible year!
Our Classroom Philosophy
With dedication to fostering a love of learning in young children, our classroom is a positive environment where each child feels supported and valued. Students are encouraged to learn at their own pace and track, with different learning styles and instructional techniques catered to their individual needs. Every subject is taught through an engaging, hands-on curriculum designed to spark active learning and curiosity.
In Grade 1/2, we integrate land-based learning and incorporate the Seven Sacred Teachings (also known as the Seven Grandfather Teachings) into our daily practice, helping students learn and understand what it means to be a responsible member of the community. Every child can achieve with encouragement and the right guidance — in our classroom, we prioritize helping children build their confidence, resilience, respect for others, and social-emotional development.
How Families Can Support Learning
Families play an essential role in supporting children’s learning and development. Here are some ways you can help your child succeed:
Reading Together - Read books sent home together regularly. Even 10-15 minutes each day makes a big difference in building literacy skills and a love of reading.
Using Online Learning Tools - Encourage your child to use Lexia, IXL, and Symphony Math at home. These programs provide personalized practice that supports classroom learning.
Talking About Learning - Ask your child about what they learned at school. Celebrate their effort and progress, not just their results.
Practicing Oji-Cree - Use Oji-Cree words and phrases at home when possible. Sharing family stories, traditions, and experiences helps children feel proud of who they are.
Staying Connected - Reach out with questions or concerns. We are here to support you and your child!
Thank you for entrusting me with your children. I look forward to partnering with you in their education!
Miigwech! Ms. Levita
