Authors Visit - Barbara Reid and Jo Ellen Bogart  

On Tuesday, November 22 Authors Barbara Reid and Jo Ellen Bogart visited our school as part of the TD Grade One Book Giveaway Tour across Canada.  Our school was chosen to be part of their tour  and the visit is sponsored by TD Bank, Canadian Children's Book Centre, Scholastic Canada and the London Public Library.  Our visit was FREE thanks to these sponsors.  We heard a special presentation from our authors, and received a free autographed copy (autographed by both author and illustrator) of their book "Gifts."  A special thank you to the many parents and grandparents in attendance. To see some exciting photos of our day click on the link below:

Remembrance Day Project

Mrs. Burrough's Grade 2/3 students have been busy over the last couple of weeks creating their own "Peace" Books, based on the book "What Does Peace Feel Like"  by Vladimir Radunsky.  Each student created a page based on each sense (what does peace look like, what does peace sound like, etc.) and then put it together in a book to take home.  The students then chose 2 pages and we put them all together in a classroom movie.  Click on the link below to see the video:

Check out some new technology I have been playing around with.  I hope to use this web-based program with students this year...Ok, remember, I'm just learning too!
