Students are working on being leaders on the playground this month. They were showing kindness and teamwork as they built some amazing snow people today! ⛄️

Are you interested in e-books? All students have access to a selection of e-books, audio books, read-to-me books and chapter books. All you need to do is go to http://cjs.hpsd.ca and select Learning Commons. It is found under the Parents and Students tab. Scroll down to find the overdrive logo to access e-books. Students may login just as they do at school.

CJS and EGW have power.

This month, the students will be working on Playground Safety. For every recess that their class makes safe choices outside, they will get a sticker on their star. The class with the most stickers will win a prize.

Please note that there is no school for the rest of this week due to Teachers’ Convention. School will resume on Monday, February 12.

Mrs. Price and her grade 3 jigging group taught a Metis dance (The Red River Jig) to all gym classes today. Here is a grade 3 student teaching a grade 1 student how to do the basic and fancy steps.

Today is the last day of school this week as all of the teachers are heading to Teachers’ Convention. There is no school Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Semester Break so there is no school for students. See you all on Thursday!

As part of our Wellness Week last week, students were faced with a class vs class Jumping Jack Challenge. 9,397 jumping jacks were completed school-wide, and Mrs. Dana’s grade 3 class was the winning class with 838 jumping jacks! As the winners, they each got to throw whipped cream in Mr. Hay’s face at today’s assembly!

Habit #4 is one that we practice a lot. It reminds us to try and find solutions where everyone can win. Ask your child about a time when he/she used this habit with a friend.

Cindy from Body Sculpt is here doing Boot Camp with the gym classes today!
