Wednesday, September 29 (No school tomorrow)

 Hi parents,

Orange Shirt Day at LBS was a big success. All around the school, students were engaged in meaningful work related to reconciliation and the positive actions we can take moving forward to ensure children, and adults, are treated with kindness and compassion.

In our classroom, the students made orange hand prints, and wrote brief responses about what Orange Shirt Day means to them. We had more compelling class discussions, and it's easy to see how much the students genuinely care about these important issues.

We attended a virtual assembly, hosted by Rooms 12 and 13, that celebrated Indigenous culture and promoted reconciliation. 

We continued to explore the Hearing and Sound "Virtual Exhibit" (which can be accessed here), and learned how certain decibel levels can damage our hearing in different ways. We learned that some sounds, like a rocket launch, an airplane, or fireworks, can damage our hearing immediately, unless we wear protective gear.

At the end of the day, we had Music class.

Tomorrow is Truth and Reconciliation Day, so there will be no school. We will be returning on Friday, which I'm sure will feel very bizarre.

Please remember send back your ADmazing Savings Books if you are not interested in purchasing!

Have a nice night,

Zac
