Students enjoyed a beautiful sunny day on the slopes of Kinosoo Ridge on February 13th. Thankfully there were no broken limbs to report. Our thanks go out to Val from the hill and Ms. Johnstone who did a great job of organizing the trip. We also thank our many parent volunteers who stayed the day and were either outside skiing with us or inside keeping the chalet chaos to a minimum. The end of ski day marked the beginning of a week-long break for students.
As students relaxed away from school, teachers took on the role of students at convention in Lloydminster Thursday and Friday. Topics covered on Thursday included assessment, student motivation and charting results as Dr. Lee Jenkins spoke to NWSD teachers about his concept of "L to J". Some of the breakout sessions on Friday included parental engagement, leadership, professionalism, handwriting and struggling readers. This year's math initiative was supported by some of the breakout sessions including Math Wikis which was of particular interest to some of our elementary teachers. Perhaps they'll be sharing their great ideas soon.
