Oh, all the end of year feelings!! Grade 7 students created a mural of memories, lessons, and shout outs today to commemorate the final day of classes. It was a special year with a very special group of kids. I am feeling so grateful!

#BellLetsTalk is always an important day. Don't forget to practice good mental health strategies every day though. Take time to speak with loved ones, get outside, stay active, and recognize that asking for help is difficult, but the best thing for you. You're allowed to.

Regardez mes élèves en 9e qui ont participé a la Journée Bell Cause pour la cause. Starting the class with 10 minutes for wellness was game-changing. Reading one of your favourite stories to a friend over FaceTime? Sign me up! #BellCause @SJK_School

Mes 8e ont participé à la Journée Bell Cause pour la cause aussi! We started the day with 10 minutes for wellness. Here is what @SJK_School Eagles decided to do for their mental health! Yes, an extra 10 minutes of sleep counts as a wellness activity! #BellCause

In light of #FLD2021 and the theme of “Travel the World Together” I shared this powerful book by @gabrielosson with the @SJK_School community. It explores the phenomenon of “restavek” children in Haiti. Check it out! Gabriel, I hope to chat with you about this one soon!

Today I read What Can A Citizen Do? by Dave Eggars to a group of 9-10 year olds as my teaching partner live translated into Creole. Students then considered what they might do as citizens for the betterment of their own community! #ELIHaiti2019
