STEM Activity !
Both of the K classes have been studying bears&hibernation. They were given the task of working w/a partner to create a cave for their bear. After they had to draw a picture of their final product. #sd33learns #kindergarten #STEM

@Flying_Key Oh no!!!!!!

[Dr. Jody Carrington • Psychologist @DrJCarrington]

The chaos (the tantrum, the refusal, the meltdown) is necessary to learn the calm. The chaos is not the problem, it’s how we respond to the chaos that matters. As a psychologist, I can tell you this: if the big people aren’t okay, the little people won’t be either.

CC = we acknowledge that we are on the unceded traditional Sto:lo territory. We are privileged to live, work, and play here.

The last words have been added to our land acknowledgment. The kids are excited to be doing the land acknowledgment at our final assembly next week. #sd33learns #Kindergarten #landacknowledgement #indigenouseducation

I love learning about what they want to be when they grow up… especially after all the growth throughout their first year in school. Our A-Z jobs brainstorm was funny (some of the jobs were questionable but too good not to include 😝) #sd33learns #careered

[Shauna Monkman 🍎 she/her @MonkmanShauna]

@CanceHo Thanks 😊 I think it’s so important for kids to understand that it’s all fine and dandy to want to be something when you grow up but what’s more important is WHO you are and how you treat people along the way !

[Shauna Monkman 🍎 she/her @MonkmanShauna]

This week we are really focusing on careers (keep your eye out for more posts about it later this week) but I wanted to express to them that it is more important WHO you become than WHAT you become. #sd33learns
