Hello Everyone, We hope you have had a great week! This morning we started a personalized TWAS (this week at school).  The children have learned how to create a TWAS google document in their CBE GoogleDrive accounts and have chosen a person (or people) that they live with to begin a letter correspondence.  In this letter the children share about their week at school, and then request a reply back from the reader.  Please write all replies directly beneath the letter so that your child can keep a running record of the year's correspondence, as a keepsake.  There are two ways to do this: log in to your child's account and type directly on the same document; have the child "share" the document with you and then you can access the letter from your own account (because the students' accounts are CBE secured, they won't always share so this second option may not be possible for some of you).

TWAS October 13

Hello Everyone, I hope that you all have had a fun, if fast, week! As always, it has been a hopping week around here that ended in a successful and wonderful club Friday.  All of the students confidently and independently headed off to their clubs and returned with lots of smiles and fun club stories to tell.

I really impressed with the honesty and desire to revisit work, after these self-assessments.  Thank you everyone who was able to help fill out the family/name history sheets that went home last week.  It ...

Hello Everyone, I hope you have all had a good week and that your little ones are settling in to their new fall routines. The children have certainly been trying very hard to put in their best efforts from 8:00am right through until 2:30, and are showing great perseverance as they take on their grade 2 tasks! We were very fortunate to have Ms. Watson come to our class twice this week and guide us in some important mental health lessons.  First we learned about our feeling and thinking brains, and learned how to recognize when our feeling brains might be starting to take over from our thinking brains, causing us to "flip our lids." Next, students from our class worked with Ms. Watson to create four movies that demonstrated some stressful situations we may be faced with.  We learned a POP strategy to help us through stressful times such as these. POP is an acronym for "Problem, Options, Plan." I have attached the videos; it may be a fun challenge to see if your ch...
