Hello Families, 

Happy Spring and welcome back from spring break! It is hard to believe we are already into the last term of our school year. These next few months will be very busy with year end academic programming, field trips, and events. 

It was great to have everyone back last week and to hear all their stories about their holiday. Learning got well underway.

In the grade 2/3 class we have been working on practicing gratitude. The students created gratitude flowers, with each petal representing something for which they are grateful. As a group, we created a “gratitude garden” with the students colouring and cutting out the letters and adding butterflies. This latest project is part of a bigger goal to learn how to regulate and be ready to learn.

South Nelson Students had a great showing in Pink on Wednesday Feb. 28 for Pink Shirt Day! Throughout the week classes did activities and learning about anti-bullying, kindness and friendship. Our student leaders planned and led our assembly.  We learned what bullying is, what bullying is NOT and the impact of kindness.
