Title: Involving Parents in the Process of Learning

Description: Parent involvement in the learning process of schools is the number one factor for student success. As schools look forward towards using social media to improve learning in their schools, many parents are fearful of what this means. Social media provides an opportunity for parents to have meaningful engagement in the learning of their child. This can greatly change the conversations not only at school, but also at home with the child. This talk provides peace of mind to parents while also engaging them in considering the unique opportunity they have to participate in their child’s learning.

The Easter Bunny arrives early at St. David School

Full day kindergarten students at St. David School took the inquiry model one step further. The students and their teachers spent the morning on school trails exploring spring’s effect on our natural environment. The students participated in a hands on literacy and numeracy based activity.

Using their spatial awareness skills and their pre-reading abilities, each student located an “Easter Egg” that was created specifically for them. They explored and noted the seasonal changes happening in nature as they hunted for eggs containing special Easter treats.

Staff members took this opportunity to educate students about the dangers of fast moving water and the importance of stewardship.

St. David School reminds all families to register for the fall of 2017. (705) 674-4096, 549 Frood Rd., Sudbury, Ontario.

Grade 8 Junior Cards are serious about Science

Grade 8 Cards were invited to the secondary wing at St. Charles College to learn about the different strands of science today.
The students were on rotations all day to learn about biology, technology, earth sciences, chemistry and physics in order to prepare them for next year.

The students did everything from building bridges and water filtration systems to studying onions and cheek cells under a microscope.

They were then treated to a pizza lunch and lime green Science shirts for an upcoming Cards Wear day.
The Secondary Science team organized this day under the direction of Program Leader Tim Kingshott.

We thank the team for making this day possible for our future
