STEWARDSHIP: we have been doing what we call Caring Hearts initiatives.  In October/November, we learned about a animal sanctuary near Harrowsmith that was looking for donations of used jack-o-lanterns to feed their animals.  Many of our families made the trip down Highway 38 to deliver their used pumpkins.
In December, as a class we collected pyjamas, socks, hats and mitts for women and children and then donated them to the Dawn's House shelter right near our school.
Our next initiative is upcycling used clothing to somehow meet the needs of our local community.
Discipleship:  as a class we looked up various bible verses that had to do with God's relationship with His children.  We discussed each one and then each child actually wrote a love letter to the world from God.  Based on these letters, we are pulling out important sentiments that we need to express to each other as 'pencils' in the hand of God.

Scholarship:  Students do a weekly self-reflection on themselves as learners most Fridays.  These are sent home to be shared with parents.
We have been using Jo Boaler's Math Mindset videos etc to help students develop their growth mindset. Following the UDL guidelines, students are offered choice in how they demonstrate their understanding
