May

It is hard to believe there are only two months of school left. I always start to get a little anxious at this time of year when I start to think of all the things that still need to be done, all the curriculum still need to be covered and how little time we truly have.  Somehow or other, each year, they all seem to get finished.  Fingers crossed that it is the same this year!

In case you didn't know, you can find us on Facebook at  New Humble Centre School @ NewHumbleCentre.

Education Week ~ 

We started off thinking we would keep Education Week simple this year since we had such a busy Celebration of the Arts Week.  Well before we knew it one activity turned into many.  Here is the schedule of activities for Education Week.  

All Week - One School - One Book ~ April 30 - May 4
The book that will be our focus for One School - One Book is The Giving Tree: Traditional Metis Stories by Leah Dorion.  Each day we will focus on one subject and do activities that incorporate aspects of the story.

Monday - Health - Discuss giving and receiving compliments.
Tuesday - Math - Patterning to create a representation of the Metis Sash.
Wednesday - Science - Helping the environment.
Thursday - Social - Working Together
Friday - Language Arts - Comparing the two books called The Giving Tree.

Monday, April 30 ~ Author, Darcy Polny, will be at the school at 1:00 pm.
Wednesday, May 2 ~ Hats On For Mental Health & Cultural Day.  The Cultural Potluck will begin at 11:45 until 12:30.  Presentation of cultural projects will go from 1:00 - 2:15
