The start of 2020 in Room 15 has been filled with so many opportunities already.  

We began with considering all of our curiousities and wonders, adding to our I Wonder Board. What creative imaginations the students have.  Their imaginations will support the possibilities of our ADST (Applied Design Skills and Technology) sessions taking place in the library.  They are getting the chance to work with Keva Planks, Lego Chutes, Little Codr Cards, Pixel Art, Elenco Snap Circuits, Circle Loom Knitting and much more.  Each center will help to develop their exploration, problem-solving and building/making skills but more importantly their self regulation, perseverance and resilience.  

As students continue to understand that everything on Earth is connected and that making a difference in the lives of others is important, they have been part of a writing campaign sending letters to volunteers who are supporting the animals of Australia affected by the bush fires.  Each student has written a letter of kindness and care along with a picture of their favourite Aussie animal to the volunteers of WIRES Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation.    We hope that our messages of hope will continue to support the many who have experienced such challenging circumstances.   https://www.wires.org.au                                             

As we move through January and February, we look forward to PowWow Dance Lessons, Snowshoeing, a Lion Dance Performance for Chinese New Year, a hand drumming workshop, the Burnaby South Science Fair, Literacy Week and our final Soccer Clinic Lesson.

We are certainly beginning our decade with so many possibilities.
