Students did an incredible job creating their Ramadan and Eid decor for the library, which added a beautiful sparkle to our space. We can't bring ourselves to take them down just yet! Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak to everyone who observed and celebrated this year.

Both grade 5/6 classes loved the opportunity to read and ask questions about life as an MLA with @reneecable today! Students are eager to dive into the books that you gifted us! Thank you!

The Art of Clean Up intrigued and engaged all grades so much so that we had to create our own sorting activity! Students got creative and organized by colour, material, shape, and much more.

Students also worked in groups to see what they could make with 100 cups!

Ever wonder how tall you are in books? The 100th day of school is a great time to measure! @niakwaLRSD @louis_riel_sd

Did you see that a Mary Ann Shadd @canadapostcorp stamp was unveiled last week? You can read all about it and about her in the library!

Students who are interested in sending a letter and would like a stamp, come see Ms. Olivia!

About to print this tweet and post it around the library. The students are going be so excited!

Every child matters. Every child needs to have access to healthy foods in schools when they need it.
Proud to stand with Minister of Education @nello4transcona & Minister @jmoses6 to make this important announcement.
Thank you @stgeorgeLRSD for having us!

We can't keep this book on the shelves! Students @niakwaLRSD have been passionate about learning ASL, and we in the library learn something new from each student who signs it out!

To quote one 7th grade student: "I should read picture books more. You learn so much."

Thank you, Ms. Stangherlin for organizing!

[Niakwa Place Library Learning Commons @NiakwaL]

This week, Ms. Nanton's grade 7/8 class explored the topic of human rights using picture books.

The books on each table were connected by one main universal human right, but students were quick to discover that more than one was often present in each book.

Most cranes were made out of recycled magazine pages, but some students found scrap paper to be their favourite medium. Those teeny tiny papers made some teeny tiny cranes.

For Remembrance Day last week, we read Faithful Elephants by Tomoko Tsuchiya Dykes. This led to meaningful discussions about how innocent beings suffer on all sides of war.

Middle years students then followed the @VeteransENG_CA peace crane instructions to create a display.
