Ms. Aravandino began teaching in 1993 and has been teaching for the Waterloo
Region District School Board since 1995. She was part of the original
teaching team that opened Sandhills Public School in September 2000 and has
taught grade 1 for the past 11 years. She has also taught grade 2 and grade
1/2 combined classes and began her career with a brief stint teaching Grade
4. Ms. Aravandino was an active participant in implementing 'Imagine a School
Without Bullying' and Character Development intitiatives at Sandhills.
In 4B, we believe everyone has the right to learn and grow in a safe, happy
and supportive environment. To that end, we strive to live the Sandhills
Guide and our class covenant of Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe.
Through regular class meetings and Imagine Assemblies, we learn about,
practice and implement these guiding principles. We learn to understand that
all of our actions have consequences which can be positive or negative
depending on the choices we make. We strive to keep our 'buckets' filled and
to fill the 'buckets' of others with positive, respectful and kind actions.
Past schoolwide themes include: the Power of One and "Me to We", how we as
individuals, using the Power of One, can join together and do great things
for others.
Our Sandhills Guide

Through careful planning and instruction, it is my goal for students to
develop their skills and deepen their knowledge and understanding of
concepts in all subject areas while gaining confidence and independence as
learners and positive members of the community.
