Here we go Sir Arthur Currie PS . We are so excited to see all of You on September 7! Check SchoolMessenger for Day 1 Details! This is going to be Your best year 💕

Ss wrote about a picture from The Way to School without “thinking” (1). Then we did a PWIM to activate our thinking and see how it impacted our word choice! Look at the bottom sentences! 🤯 Nekka Hislop (she/her) Sir Arthur Currie PS

Today Ss explored sentence variety. We read “They All Saw a Cat” and rewrote the sentences to be more descriptive of the animal’s perspective. I am so happy with how this turned out and the Ss loved rereading the story after!☺️ K. Van Hees Sir Arthur Currie PS

You know when you make a student reference material…and then find the students independently use it later on? 🎉🎉🎉 *insert teacher happy dance here* Nekka Hislop (she/her) Sir Arthur Currie PS

This weekend is the local Oakridge Pride event, and Ss at Riverside had the opportunity at recess yesterday to come to the gym & create posters of love, support, and pride. Beautiful messages & pictures were created. #ramsrock

A game of ☎ between Gr 3, 6 and 11! 6's drew a creature, wrote a poem and then read the poem to the 3's. 3's then drew based on the poem and then we sent the 3's pics to Gr 11's at Medway to recreate! One of the COOLEST projects! Mrs. Feehan Mrs. Hessel Sir Arthur Currie PS

So lucky to be a part of this crew!
