Welcome back and Happy New Year!

This past week, students played some games which help build executive functioning skills. Teams of students had to run (or jump, hop, etc.) to a mat and flip over 2 cards, dominos, or puzzle pieces. They had to look for matches before running back and tagging their next teammate.

The following link gives some more information on executive functioning:

This week, each class will have the opportunity to explore a gigantic interactive floor map of Canada. (Stay tuned for pictures!)

Cold Weather

Intramurals at lunch will be cancelled on days where it is too cold for students to go outside because lunchroom uses this space during that time. I will try to make up missed intramural days and will let students know when activities are rescheduled.
