BEST Behavior Video

We have been following a school-wide behavior matrix since the beginning of the year. This matrix talks about BEST behavior in different parts of the school building. BEST stands for Behavior, Effort, Scholarship and Teamwork. We made a video about the BEST behavior in the hallway. Enjoy the video.

Tech Time with Mr. Hurd

The students in 2/3 M8 are very fortunate to have computers with Mr. Hurd twice a week. This week the students spent some time working on their typing school. After practicing typing, they had some time to work on a program called Tux Paint. Ask your child what Tux Paint is, I am sure they will have a lot to tell you. Enjoy the pictures of the students engaged on their computers:
