Joseph Giles Elementary School

Thansk @FoothillsPub we just got a delivery. Ts love new books. Can’t wait to get them checked, stamped and into the hands of Ss. Thanks to our SAC for supporting this purchase.

Caught some reading with @BevMNGU and a student. It’s exciting to see someone feeling proud to read and building skills.

Connections and community at JGES. Appreciate when one of our friends can help get us to class lending a hand. Brown bear is a good help too. Love how our staff and students do this daily. #buildingcommunity #helpinghands

Day 7: North Preston #education #shoretoshore #northpreston #ahm2023

Thanks for the new whiteboard tables! One of our friends in Primary broke it in.

Yes we had enough snow for snow sculptures. Kids were pumped. The sliding on grass/mid/snow got a little messy.

Just keep learning… bought some new books. Interested to keep expanding our understanding of teaching literacy.

Something timeless about kids breaking ice. They loved breaking up that ice. It was a mission. ✅

First assembly in 3 years! My first full school assembly here ever. QMack presented with a mix of basketball tricks and messages of reconciliation. One of the best assemblies I’ve ever been too. He has some spots open for next week. qmack.com

The power of your name! Kids are stopping to find their name on this month’s board-WHAT’S IN YOUR BACKPACK? School wide focus to get to know about students’ lives outside school.Building relationships. Making connections. ⬆️sense of safety and community. ⬆️ learning @HRCE_NS

The kids heard “the Boss” was visiting and took the opportunity to advocate for longer recess/lunch and no homework. Thanks for listening Steve. @HRCE_NS #gotothetop #makethechange

5 Coolen had a wonderful trip to the Glass Lab! What a great resource! #ThanksToYouHalifax @ColeHarbourHS @HRCEFineArts

Can you play with sticks at JGES? Yes: smaller than your arm or build with big ones. Here is an example of a lunchtime build. 1 bedroom: ready to move in.

What’s in the bag? I got to sit in 1Wadden today to listen to Ss share items from home. It was filled with things that are important to them. #buildingconnections #Buildingcommunity

Lots of pink here today- Stand up to Bullying at JGES

Lots of smiles in 1W’s for the outdoor art lesson.

Teamwork! Our Building manager and Caretaker teaming up to move some items. Thanks for all the heard work getting the school ready.

A new set of nets made a big impact on recess and lunch. Kids are enjoying them.

Hey @HRCE_NS @nseducation @NSGEU Lucky the have this special women as our Admin Assistant! She is the heart of our school. Can we get a birthday shoutout?

Excited to have Scholastic book fair back in the school this week. Some of the kids have never had this experience. A little bit of normal coming back.
