There are now Science Kits available for all teachers to use. They can be used to supplement the curriculum.
As well as the Science kits, we are bringing in UBC's program called Geering Up for all 19 divisions this month.
Each class will participate in a grade specific workshop that is designed to complement/illustrate one or more of the curriculum areas for their grade. See topics below.
Friday, May 19: Gr 2 & 3
Monday, May 29: K, Gr 1 & 4
Tuesday, May 30: Gr 5, 6, & 7
The workshops are all 1 - 1.5 hours long and are funded by PAC (and are a good deal at $100/division).
