It was an amazing day of designing and building! 5 of our teams were in the top 12. We took 3rd, 4th, 6th, 9th, and 11th.  Thank you to Mrs. Hiebert for taking the students and to Mrs.

Miss Davis’ class was hard at work making tipis last week.  They did an excellent job.

The girls have been working hard to make a pair of moccasins.  The beading is elaborate and time consuming and the girls are working very hard.  Thank you to Cheryl for providing this opportunity for the students.

Reminder that the teachers and staff will be attending workshops on Friday and Monday so there will be no school for students.  School will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 29th.

We will be celebrating literacy day tomorrow afternoon with a fun read and feed.  Students will be provided with a glass of chocolate milk and a cookie, while they are read to and then they will have an opportunity to read a variety of different books.

Thank you to Mrs. Petrucci for all of her help showing us unplugged coding in all of the classes today.  The students had so much fun!

Wow it has been a great start to our day, as Sigmund has been sharing so many powerful stories, mixed with great music, and creative videos.  The students are completely engaged!
Reminder of the parent/child evening on Tuesday,

We would like to recognize Family Literacy Day on the 27th.  I have included an excellent resource from ABC Literacy.

Hi Everyone,
The students will be participating in a reading challenge for the next two weeks.  This challenge will be different because each day they read for a minimum of 15 minutes they will earn kilometres.

We have a busy month ahead of us.  We are excited to have author Sigmund Brouwer here on this Thursday and he will be sharing his Rock and Roll Literacy presentation to the whole school at 8:45am.
