All students should have clean dry socks. Unfortunately, if students do not have socks, they won’t be able to use the skates provided. Alien In-line provides protective gear for each student (knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmet). If your child/children have certified helmets at home, they are encouraged to bring them to school labeled with their name on it. Students are required to wear protective gear at all times to keep them safe. We recommend that you as parents, reinforce this message at home please. Please help your child/ren know their shoe size before they come. Celebration of Learning - MathWe had a great evening last Thursday for our Celebration of Learning. We focused on math learning in grade 4. Thank-you to all our amazing families who were able to come out and explore math with their child. If you weren't able to join us, we have included pictures of our information posters and activities below. Feel free to pick a few and work through them with your child if you'd like to experience what we did or you'd just like another crack at the activities. Friendology 101- Time to Get REAL!We are diving into Friendship 101 and giving our students the most special, precious gift of all...the foundation they need to develop healthy, happy relationships for the rest of their lives. Lesson 1 focuses on self-awareness, teaching children to ‘get real’ about who they are. In order to create healthy friendships, we need students to first look inward and shine a light on their strengths. Students will learn that character is what matters most and they have the power to be the best version of themselves. Students brainstormed what they thought the "perfect girl" or "perfect guy" looked like, behaved like, and what their friendships were like. Here is what the students in rooms 1 and 2 said about the "perfect girl" and "perfect guy" - as you can see, our students' responses were quite perceptive. Think About...This evening take some time and think about What you like about yourself and what you don't like about yourself. Tomorrow morning you will be given time as part of your morning bell work to complete the activity above. RespectRespect was the word and action of the day. There were some challenges at lunch that after a discussion we realized that respect may be the solution. We began learning about Respect this morning as part of our 7 Sacred Teachings. We used the inside out technique to create our bison and are beginning to brainstorm what respect means. When we discussed our lunchroom problem this afternoon we realized that respect for our space, ourselves and our peers and supervisors will help us to solve this problem and hopefully avoid future problems.
We can share what we think Respect is and how we might show respect as well as how it can help solve the lunchroom problem. Comments are closed.
