SLAs - We did a writing assessment, an online Literacy, and an online Math portion.  - Students all tried their best and worked very hard during the assessments! Assembly - The Grade 3s hosted our first every virtual Keeler Circle of Courage Assembly.  - We are so proud of all of the students for their contributions planning, practicing roles, and recording videos and sound.  - Our Assembly this week focused on the Belonging pillar, please ask your child how they show belonging at school, how they know they belong, and how they can demonstrate it at home.  - I have attached our version of "The Kids Book about Belonging" by Kevin Carroll.  Parent Teacher Conferences - Please sign up for a conference on October 29 from 1-8pm. The times are 15 mins and will be over the phone.
