What a great week at LKS. We registered many new kindergarten families on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thanks to the office and kindergarten staff and parents who welcomed all of our new students.

We also hosted a volleyball tournament, attended a basketball tournament and hockey games, and hosted two presenters-Shaun Booth and Chris Mckhool. Both presentations were funded through Parent Council. Thanks to all of our current coaches: Mr. Bracht, Ms. Sunde, Mr. Ross, Mr. Iceton, Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Ellerker, Mr. Harrison and Mr. Lynde.

Many of our teachers have begun new units of study this week. Below are a variety of posters showing the "I Wonder" questions and thoughts the classes have generated. This stage in the inquiry process is so important as the student's thinking is activated and engaged in the topic of study.

A few other pics are included of busy days!

I thought the article in the link was very interesting and something that educators and policy makers sshould be considering for future programming-  http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/men-boys-falling-behind-1.3962316

Bob, our crossing guard, will be off for a bit. We should be getting a replacement for Bob provided by Police Services. They are responsible for staffing the city guards.

Have a great weekend everyone. We hope everyone has a great time celebrating Valentine's Day and 100 Days of school next week!
