Friday March 15, 2019

Thank you to everyone who came to our Joy Pod Open House.  The students were very excited to share their learning with everyone.  Here is a small visual montage of pictures of what we shared.
















Please help us out:   We are still in need of some coloured bottle cap lids for our Joy Pod Art Project.  If you have any plastic lids in the following colours:
 Brown         Green       Blue      Red     Orange


Just a reminder that conferences are next Thursday and Friday.  Sign up begins Saturday, March 16.  You should have received an email from your child's responsibility teacher explaining to you who would be the key teacher who will share your child's learning with you during this time.  Please remember these are student led conferences and your child will be leading the sharing and the discussion with the teacher.

Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences

The spring Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences will be held Thursday and Friday, March 21/22, 2019. Registration for conferences will open at 7:00 am March 16, 2019, through CBE School Messenger, for all students from Kindergarten – Grade 4.
Students will be bringing home notices on Friday, March 15th, indicating the names of the Pod teacher(s) who are currently most connected to students for math and literacy (reading). Families will book conferences with the indicated teacher(s) in order to ensure they are appropriately connected to their child’s literacy and math learning. Part of the Conference experience will also provide families with the opportunity to explore the learning that has been happening within the Pod with your child as the leader. Families will also be able to informally connect with other Pod teachers when they are available.
