Joy Pod
Inquiry: Students continued to work on the their inquiry using one of the lens: color, nature, animals or liquids. Through the use of seven of the interconnected learning strategies with our students we are working to transform our learning. The strategies include:
- Learning Locally: Our community is the classroom and our learning is grounded in the experiences that are happening around us.
- Integrated learning: Learning a variety of subjects and skills through a topic allows our students to have a deeper understanding.
- Acting on Learning: Applying what we are learning to enhance our community.
- Considering Alternate Perspectives: Allowing our students the opportunity to hear differing views encourages critical thinking of our students.
- Inquiry: Students begin to uncover the curriculum in an interesting way.
- Sharing the Responsibility of Learning: Leads our students to being able and independent learners today and in the future.

Math: Students continue to learn about "Patterns and Relations" from the teachers in Joy Pod. Parents will have the opportunity to work along their children in the various rooms to share their learning at Student Led Conferences coming up on November 22 and 23. Today we started the third rotation...
*******************************************
Joy Pod Assembly: Students are excitedly working on the different aspects of our Peace Assembly. The theme for our assembly is "Joy." Students are contributing in different ways to this assembly either through artwork, technology, drama, citizenship, community building and/or music. Ask your child what is their contribution so far for the assembly.
