Sock
Hop Drive
The students in the room G29, have taken the lead with the
school’s Sock Hop Drive. The experience has been rewarding for each of them, as
they get the chance to show the unique ways in which they communicate, whether
through spoken word, or a communication app like Proloquo2Go, on an iPad.
Two
students from our classroom are chosen each morning to make an announcement to
the entire school, one being verbal and the other on the iPad
. This is a
big accomplishment for each of them, as they are making their presence known
within the school community and feeling a part of it.
The Sock Hop Drive will run each day until next Wednesday,
December 18
th. There is a large, red box currently located in the
office, where donations of brand-new socks can be made. These socks will help
to keep the feet warm of those in need throughout the Regent Park community,
during the cold winter months. Next Monday and Wednesday, the staff, and
students in Room G29 will visit each classroom to collect sock donations.
We look forward to seeing you all next week!
Kindly,
Ms. Natalie and the staff and students of Room G29
Winter
Wonderland Art Project
Students in room G32 and the Grade 7/8's from Ms. Baker's
class came together to create a beautiful "Winter Wonderland" art
project. Through this collaborative work, students not only explored their
creativity but also developed important skills such as teamwork, fine motor
skills, and problem-solving. The project provided an inclusive space for
students of all abilities to work side by side, fostering mutual respect and
understanding. This hands-on experience integrated the geometry of snowflakes,
and the science of the changing seasons...all while having a lot of fun!
