November 28th Update
This week students were deep in learning, many working with Mount Royal University Student Teachers. We are happy to welcome four student teachers to our school who have been mentored by LBS teachers. They have one more week to work alongside the staff at Lake Bonavista School.
Thank you for joining teachers for learning conversations at conferences. This is an important touch point throughout the year, giving students a stretch of time to incorporate next steps before report cards. As a parent of a Montessori student, we know you continue to support your child in developing greater independence and practicing practical life skills as a learner. We know these conferences help provide feedback for next steps together.
Winter Toys and Playing in the Snow
Please keep winter toys at home. Our lunch team supplies a variety of play equipment for outside time. Students should not bring snowball makers or shovels to school. As we enjoy the snow and all the fun that it creates for us, we remind students that the snow belongs to everyone, we build and we don’t destroy, and snow stays on the ground. We can have fun building and creating together.
