Our Final Week at KTS

 ... it has been another year full of learning in Grade 4.  I'm so proud of all that you have accomplished this year.  You have all worked hard to transform your thinking each day.  It is amazing to think that you are the first grade four class to attend KTS and you leave a large learning legacy for your peers.  You should be very proud of the ways you lived the HEART values each day.  Here is a six word story for all of you:

Transforming thinking, activating neurons, motivating, metacognites!

Enjoy your summer and be the best learners and ambassadors I know you can be in grade five.  Happy trails Ambassadors!

Ms. Hargreaves

Take 10 Deep Breaths -- Guided meditation

We have been trying out these wonderful mindful breathing videos called 10 deep breaths.  You might want to use them at home.  We think they are really well done and they help us focus on our breathing.  Mind, body focus.

Roots expanding just like our neurons!  Time to transplant!

Is it the visible spectrum of light?  

Mavericks inspire us to leave a legacy behind. We decided to try a new venue for sharing, the Learning Commons.   Here are some photos of a slide show:
