As part of our recognition of National Aboriginal Day we spent the first hour of our day in the gym taking in traditional drumming, dancing, singing and First Nation's speakers. Mrs. Roberts led all James Kennedy students though a colourful, artistic and entertaining assembly. Upon our return from the assembly, the students ate their mid-morning snack and then headed outside to see the new portables being installed. After music class, the students had some time to continue their work on their "I can" portfolio projects. After lunch, it was time to settle in to for our daily silent reading period, then outside with Division 8 for a massive game of Capture the Gold.
HOMEWORK: Students who have not completed their "I can" portfolios need to have theirs complete on Thursday. On the inside of the portfolio, students should choose examples of work they've done this year that represents one of the three Core Competencies of Communication, Creative & Critical Thinking, and Personal / Social skills. On the outer portion of their portfolio, they should create a title page, on the back it should list their accomplishments this year, and on the inside flap, the students should draw a self-portrait of themselves.
NOTE: The students were given permission forms for our proposed field trip to the Walnut Grove Water Park on June 27th. There is no cost for this excursion, and parents are welcome to join us for a mid-day picnic.
