January Update

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2017. I hope everyone had a restful holiday break.

The students are back and the holiday season is officially over. We are entering a VERY busy time of the school year. First term report cards are around the corner and there are several upcoming projects and events fast approaching.

Beginning this Friday January 13th, all grade 6 classes will begin a project called "Entrepreneurial Adventure". This project will be a collaborative effort by students to create an invention/product and market it and sell it. All proceeds will be going to charity. This project will be a great way for students to work with one another and work through the planning stages involved in such a product. As a part of the initiative, students will also take part in "Griffins Den", identical to the TV show "Dragon's Den". Group members will have to present their idea/product to a panel of teachers in hopes of continuing on their learning journey. This project will run until May, so the students will be kept busy!

So everyone is aware, the next PD day is on MONDAY January 30th.
