This month we are highlighting the Montessori tenet of community and belonging.  Mrs. Watson and Ms. Rooke had time with each class this week to talk about what it means to belong to the Montessori community. Some classes listened to the story “A Little Spot of Belonging” and some listened to “The Language of Flowers”. We learned one way that we can contribute to a sense of belonging is by smiling and greeting one another.

Child and Youth Well-Being: A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians

The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in an online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and will explore topics such as vaping, brain development, mental health, and sexual health.  Click here for more information.

 

CBE educators believe that parents and guardians can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors – in order to do so, they need the right tools and information.   Well-being is a precondition for learning. As our understanding of student well-being continues to evolve, it is important for those that support children and youth to stay up to date on the same information so everyone can support student success. 

 

The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics.
