As #YomKippur begins at sunset tonight, we'd like to wish everyone who is fasting a meaningful and easy fast. G'mar Hatimah Tovah to all who observe.

This is great! Well spoken @rickriordan!

Math can happen anytime! All this mathematical thinking and reasoning came out of a student wonder about how many pages left in a read aloud book. Find the moments and use them!

Div 19 studied local landforms by reading The Two Sisters by Pauline Johnson. They analyzed the story’s structure and wrote summaries, then made a print of the peaks. Take a look at the beautiful colours and details! @QuilchenaSchool @vsblearns @VSB39Indigenous

Today, in honour of Orange Shirt Day, students at Quilchena walked together outside and reflected on indigenous wisdom. We acknowledged the legacy of residential schools & how they interrupted these teachings. #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay

TFW you are the harbinger of elation as you tell the students that they can take as many books home as they think they will need for the Winter Break. For instance, in Div 4:
