We had the sweetest visitor in the pool today 🦮!

Echo is training to work with individuals with hearing impairments. He was just fantastic on duty watching over our Ss swim for #PhysEd class.

Ss had a blast on Thursday! We sent 3 teams to EC Drury to participate in a Soccer tournament. My favourite moment from the entire day was our sister school Trillium cheering us on! We were all smiles on the bus ride home with gold, silver and bronze medals. @AmethystSchool

Thank you @LCFaith for guiding us with your expertise on Executive Functioning. If you’re looking to build capacity in this area.. this resource is a must!

Thank you to Kali from the @greatlakesprgm for educating us on Mussels. I think many of our Ss learned a lot about this unique endangered species! They were especially keen to learn about ways to preserve our local ecosystems!

OYAP travelling experience was a great opportunity for our students to try out skills from the trades. Ss were able to try electrical, automotive, welding, and heavy machine operating among various other skilled trade activities.

Led my first book study @AmethystPDS ! Great discussion around the Simple View of Reading and the need to gather more info when a S is not showing reading comprehension. A weakness in either decoding or language comprehension will lead to difficulties with reading comprehension!

We had a blast! Proud of this group for taking on challenges and never giving up!
