❄️ Welcome, December Vacation! 🦉

📚 Grade 2 wrapped up their first literacy module in the new EL curriculum, The Wide World of Schools, with these powerful class pledges and crests. Students worked side by side with focus, care, and a real sense of purpose—thinking deeply about what it means to make the most of their right to an education. This culminating task truly epitomizes the core values of the EL program: collaboration, student voice, purposeful learning, and high-quality work that matters beyond the classroom. Huge shout-out to our Grade 2 educators and students for leaning into the challenge of a new curriculum and bringing this meaningful work to life!
