That’s because we have an amazingly organized teacher librarian!! Mrs. Lisinski is AMAZING!!!

[Jennifer Angle @Angle_Bellmoore]

One of the key changes to our new Language curriculum highlights the role of the library learning commons. As outlined in the new document so perfectly, LLCs and Teacher-Librarians “can help to nurture and develop a love of reading for learning and pleasure, assist students in accessing information and selecting appropriate texts …”

This important change highlights why we must prioritize school library programs. This change happens just as @HWDSB shared the highest circulation among schools in our board - @Bellmoore_HWDSB students borrowed and READ the highest number of books because EVERY student has access to our library learning commons and our collection. May we make this a priority in EVERY school! @oslacouncil @CdnSchoolLibrar #SchoolLibraryJoy #ONSchoolLibraries

❤️ that @TrentUSoE’s summer AQ course flyer specifies that all three parts of the Reading AQ are based on the science of reading. 👏

One kinder decided to teach a directed drawing with her friends! Such a great moment of play today. They kept the books at school so they can write a story tomorrow 💕

There is something special about making connections with older students. We have been so lucky to have Ms. Gordon’s class as our learning buddies this year. Our big buddies have been helping us with reading, self regulation, making connections and building community 💕💕

They may hear it through media or when activities are being canceled. You can do things to stay safer,  such as staying indoors and enjoying time together.  We are here for each other. ❤

Many of our friends are being affected by the smoke and air quality issues caused by wildfires in Canada. This can be scary for children, and they may have questions or big feelings about what is happening. (1/2)

Environment Canada has issued a Special Air Quality Statement that covers the Hamilton area.

As a precaution, we will be keeping students indoors on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, and will continue to monitor air quality over the course of the week.
