The communication competency is fundamental to finding satisfaction, purpose and joy."
The Communication Competency encompasses both Communicating and Collaborating]]> 2020-05-04 20:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/Mme_Jacqueline/wxb68q6u68wd71qy/wish/550504611 Mme_Jacqueline https://padlet.com/Mme_Jacqueline/wxb68q6u68wd71qy/wish/550525294 "People who think critically and reflectively are analytical and investigative, willing to question and challenge their own thoughts, ideas, and assumptions and challenge those of others. They reflect on the information they receive through observation, experience, and other forms of communication to solve problems, design products, understand events, and address issues. A critical thinker uses their ideas, experiences, and reflections to set goals, make judgments, and refine their thinking."

It's important to learn how to identify your emotions and to manage stress. Often in school, we take a moment to take some breaths, just to feel calmer, so that we can learn better. ]]> 2020-05-04 22:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Mme_Jacqueline/wxb68q6u68wd71qy/wish/550656906 Mme_Jacqueline https://padlet.com/Mme_Jacqueline/wxb68q6u68wd71qy/wish/550717919 K-7
ADST (Applied Design, Skills, and Technology) helps us learn how to think like a designer, and to solve problems through exploration and play.  In the library we have used LEGO and Keva planks, but we have also used paper, and even rocks!

Valuing Diversity is an important part of this competency. Read about what the curriculum says about valuing diversity, then listen to the world-renowned author Mem Fox read Whoever You Are.

"Students value diversity, defend human rights, advocate for issues, and interact ethically with others. They are inclusive in their language and behaviour and recognize that everyone has something to contribute. Their approach to inclusive relationships exemplifies commitment to developing positive communities."
