February 24, 2020

Reminders:
Pink Shirt day is on Wednesday this week!
Family Information Evening is this week. See invitation below!


Our day:
We took some time to talk about kindness and a little bit about pink shirt day. Please wear a pink shirt to school if you are able to to help support kindness in schools. We will continue to learn more about Pink Shirt day and will focus read alouds and discussions on kindness and caring for others.

Why Wear PINK on February 26th?
Wear pink to show that you will not tolerate bullying. Bullying in any form is unacceptable and everyone has a role to play in promoting healthy relationships and preventing bullying. Let’s continue to make our school communities welcoming, caring, respectful, safe, and inclusive.
Two Nova Scotia high school students inspired Pink Shirt Day by organizing their fellow students to wear pink in support of a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Learn more about Pink Shirt Day and how the CBE works to create safe and caring school environments.
The Alberta Education website also has information posted on safe and caring school environments.



During inquiry today the Coast group looked at seashells from the west coast and sketched sea creatures. The Arctic group  was introduced to  the  Northern Communities of Nunavut and Tuktoyaktuk. Students created a list of "wonders' they would like to investigate about either community.
