The book fair was a huge success.  Thank you to all who participated, especially all my hard working student and adult volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without you!  We raised over $2000 for our school.

The staff had a great presentation on inquiry based learning on Friday.  I know my mind was racing with ideas, and that is what is good about professional development days, they give us a chance to be together, to share ideas and to learn new things.  Something that came out of the day was that there are a number of teachers who are going to be working on a collaborative project about Communities.  In particular Deep Cove.  They are looking for resources and artifacts to share with the children.  Do you have a book, old photos, magazine or newspaper articles, or other artifacts relating to communities or Deep Cove that you could share with us?

You will have noticed a lot of changes in our library, including a new Teacher Librarian.  I am looking forward to getting to know you all, and to learning together.  Stay posted for information about our library and what you can do to help make it great!
