Communities helping Communities
Grade 2’s have been learning about communities across Canada. As we explored ways of life in the Arctic, we were shocked to learn that a fire had devastated the community school in Kugaaruk, Nunavut. Not just a center for education, the school served as the community center with the arena, breakfast and lunch program, and special events. Grade 2’s at Prince of Wales have banded together, and following the design thinking process, explored how to best support this community. To support Kugaaruk School, Grade 2’s will host Intermural Floor Hockey in the gym from April 10th- April 20th from 12:00-12:30PM and welcome all donations (suggested donation is $2). Ms. Konno will be creating heartfelt cards with students in Room 9. The Grade 2’s also welcome cash donations in support of the community of Kugaaruk. Cash donations will be accepted from April 3rd to April 21st. Please see below for your Grade Schedule. If you have any questions, please email[email protected]. We thank you in advance for your support! Grade 2 Schedule: Lunch Times 12:00PM – 12:30PM

Everyone has been exposed to bullying in some way or another. The important thing is understanding what bullying is, and use empathy to defeat it. We decided to address personal comments first. At school we are in a group setting. This is not a place to make personal comments. Personal comments include: appearance, ability, race, culture, family dynamics, economics, grade, comparisons and status. We decided that the exception would be compliments. We are trying a social experiment to see if we can change our patterns. Sometimes we get sloppy or too comfortable with our language and do not even realize that we are making personal comments. We are going to hold ourselves accountable and try a tally system to recognize when we are making a personal comment and how to replace that behavior.
