Fun Film Friday: Viewing & listening are great ways to learn! Watching shows together creates opportunities for conversations and questions, while increasing vocabulary & understanding of topics & skills. We learn facts or discuss characters & big ideas #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Thinking Thursday: Background knowledge is info that is stored and organized in our brains. It helps us make sense of what we read, see, and hear. Increasing it is 1 way to build skills to read, write, and think. #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Wonder Word Wednesday: Build a sense of wonder & excitement about vocabulary! It can be topic-specific by using words like ‘magma’ or ‘supernova’ or it can be precise language, like chilly, cold, freezing or frigid. And it can be done in all languages! #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Messaging Making Monday: Communicating through written messages is a gift we share with our children – writing is our thoughts made visible to others. This can be done through writing & drawing and is often most powerful when we intentionally combine them. #WeAreCBE #CBELiteracy

Sunday Funday: Playing games together develops social skills, a sense of sequencing, & oral language. Card games, word games, & board games are a great way to spend the weekend, or any time, together. #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE Please share some of your favourites below!

We revealed the secret item today! It was a Métis sash. We started paper weaving inspired by the Métis Sash.

Today kinder read a social story about expected behaviour and learned about the student code of conduct through the CBE holistic framework. #BPSHawksK #BPSHawksLearn

In kinder, we are using the CBE holistic framework as the guide for our morning meeting. The framework is linked to important learning around mind, spirit, heart, and body. #BPSHawksK #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

We celebrated creativity, courage, collaboration and DOT making! #InternationalDotDay #MakeYourMark #BPSHawksLearn #BPSHawksK
