The first week of classes for Divisions 7 & 8 were full of anticipation, fascination, collaboration and bucket loads of fun! Both classes spent a good deal of time, getting to know each other, getting settled in their new environments and routines, and working together to solve classroom problem-solving challenges.
Day one saw the students "Save Sammy", and let us know a bit more about themselves. Day 2, saw classmates try to build a tower using only string, tape, spaghetti noodles and a marshmallow and they learned about the expectations of gym class, while Day 3 offered up a two-class afternoon collaboration that gave us an excellent set of guidelines for the students to follow.

This word cloud image was generated based on the key points the students felt were necessary to be good citizens in our school and community, and that they needed to have to help create a respectful and fun classroom learning environment.
