Happy Earth Day..the beauty of nature is here in our wonderful city. Come and join in on the Earth Day Parade down Commercial Drive. The power of nature and being outdoors is important for our mental and physical well being. I encourage students to get involved in learning more about the environment, and doing their part, and most of all, getting out doors as much as possible.Meanwhile, I have been busy trying to fight a nasty cold...and keep up with the paperwork. This week, I am seeing a great group of students in the Operation Civilization Program. I will be posting their projects soon.I just finished with my grade 5/6 book club, and I have some great photos of our last Future is Wild Program offered a few weeks ago...As well this week, I will be letting schools know the students who have been accepted into the Gizmos and Gadgets Challenge Centre for grade 2/3 students. I had so many applications and only 12 spots...I hate to disappoint schools and wish that I could service all the students who send in applications, but I can't.
I want to thank all the gifted contacts who work so diligently in filling out the forms and sending them to me. I understand that it is a great deal of work, and I am trying to figure out a better system; a way of going paperless? I am working with the board to try a find a way to make this process easier for all; I will keep you posted if we find a solution!
