I watched a video about Remembrance Day.  I learned about Remembrance Day and that you have to take 2 minutes of silence to remember the soldiers that died for us.

Teaching Citizenship

This past summer my daughter and I travelled to Africa to help build a school.  We have been trying to find a way to share our experience in Africa and this is a project she came up with to motivate other kids.

Remy's Bracelet Project

Students in all classes have had chance to view Remy's video and 3A is partnering with Remy to sell the bracelets here at Talbot Trail.  Our class has had some wonderful discussions about what it means to help others and be a good citizen in the community.  3A students will be in charge of advertising (in print and on the announcements), selling and counting money.  I know this will be a rewarding experience for the students as they do their share to show that kids can change the world!
