Thank to to everyone who was able to send their child to school wearing either a jersey or green and yellow. The support is amazing to see. We did have a discussion in class about the tragedy and watched the video Tom Cochrane made of his tribute song for the Humboldt team. You can find it HERE. Some emotions came out during the video and discussion and we talked about how it was alright to feel whatever emotion they were feeling at the moment and to not be afraid to talk to an adult or someone they trust about how they are feeling. We talked about all the different ways people are handling their emotions, such as leaving the hockey sticks outside, donating to the GoFundMe page or organizing events such as Jersey Day. Your child may have questions or concerns about the Humboldt tragedy and that's ok. Feel free to have whatever conversation you feel is appropriate with them. In other news, students received their new literature circle books today. Most are excited. A few......are not. :) There are 4 books we are reading this term: Charlottes Web, A Bad Case of Robots, The Mouse and the Motorcycle and Silverwing. More information about meeting dates and expectations can be found HERE. Also, on Tuesday we completed an amazing art project inspired by Roy Henry Vicker's artwork in the book "The Elders are Watching". Click HERE to check them out. They turned out AMAZING! Have a great rest of your week, Mrs. Vieira

All about Mrs. VieiraI'm new to JKE and new to the school district but I've been a teacher in B.C. since 2008. I love art, animals and my family, which includes my daughter who is 1 year old. Archives
