Wellness

Personal well-being is supported through positive relationships built on communication, collaboration, empathy, and respect.


What Did Students Do?

This week, our Grade 5 class recognized Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, February 25th by engaging in meaningful conversations about kindness, inclusion, and the impact of our daily choices. As a class, we read our anchor text I Am We, which helped guide our thinking around how individual actions contribute to a stronger, more caring community.
Following our reading and discussion, students participated in a CSI activity (Colour, Symbol, Image) to represent their understanding of the message I Am We. Students were asked to choose a colour, a symbol, and an image that reflected what the message meant to them.
This activity encouraged students to think deeply about how small actions, like including others, showing kindness, and how making thoughtful choices can have a big impact in our classroom and school community. It was awesome to see the creativity and reflection in their work, as well as the meaningful connections they made to the idea that we are all responsible for creating a sense of belonging.





Thank you to all the parents who took the time to come to Parent Teacher Interviews. It was great to chat about your child and I look forward to continue to support them throughout the rest of the school year!

October 29-31 Learning Outcomes Literacy  Students examine how the form and structure of texts can support the communication of ideas and information. What Did  Students Do? This week, our class had a monstrously fun time exploring persuasive writing through a creative project called Be My Monster Friend! Each student designed their very own friendly monster and then wrote a persuasive paragraph inviting the reader to become that monster’s friend. Through this activity, students examined how the form and structure of a persuasive text help writers clearly communicate their ideas and influence their audience.
