Hello all,

Wishing everyone a great long weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving to all who take part.

What a fun-filled week, of Wheelchair Basketball and Arts Umbrella.

I was very proud of Division 20’s willingness to step out of their comfort zone this week and try new things.  Wheelchair basketball went really well and I could tell that everyone enjoyed getting to try out the sport wheelchairs.

We also had an amazing program from Arts Umbrella, where we were taught how to draw birds. They are so beautiful I am not ready to send them home yet.

Hello all,

Division 20 had another great week! I feel very lucky to be their teacher.

This week we had the opportunity to watch the grade 4/5/6 classes present the “Montessori Great Stories”. This was a nice way for me to see previous students as well as for our class to see older students in action.

Terry Fox update: The snack sale raised $350

Work Journals: The start of Work Journals went well. However, please do have a conversation with your child around the importance of taking ownership of their own work. I had lots of conversations with students this week about wasting time.
