I would like to wish all of you a Happy Family Day Weekend and a Happy Valentines Day!

With skating, anticipated family movie night fun, penguin visit for gr. 1, jump rope for heart and Valentine's Day activities added on top of curriculum . . . it was a super jam packed week. I don't know about the students, but I am ready for a bit of a rest. :)
ASSEMBLY
We are working on Kindness and Caring in the month of February. Students and staff are encouraged to "notice" Random Acts of Kindness around the school and write those on slips on paper to share in the kindness box that is located in every classroom. Of course the reverse of Kindness is to be a bully and so our grade 3 and 4s continue to work on their anti-bullying projects in the short assemblies earlier in the week. They will have 2 more weeks to complete their projects before they will be invited to share them with each other. Today we talked about the characteristics of what makes a good friend, reviewed our Learning Manners song and watched "The Bearnstein Bears and the Bully" to help reinforce our discussions around this theme.
CONGRATULATIONS goes out to our currents STUDENTS OF THE WEEK as well as to Kayley, Deagan and Maklin who won Wristband Challenge passes to the LRC. Last but not least, we would like to congratulate the grade 4 students who studied hard for the spelling bee. We handed out their certificates at the assembly as well.
GR 1 PENGUIN VISIT
It is always an exciting time when the penguin comes to visit the grade one students. This time was no exception and the students were all thrilled with the experience and I heard lots of chatter about it afterwards.
