It was bananas this week in the Hub! Betty the gorilla showed us what a tantrum looks like as well as the calm afterwards. #selfregulation #EmotionalIntelligence #connections

Thanks to the help from our partners at Correctional Service Bowden, our Ecole J S McCormick tipi is back! Wolf Creek Schools

Don’t worry Mrs. Maris, we’ll be kind to our wonderful friend Liam. But how did you know this was going to be our book of the day? #KindnessMatters Rachel Wendy Smith

No matter where a student strikes up a conversation, we should always take the time to connect and build on our relationship with them. Kids deserve to be seen and heard, no matter their location on a sunny Friday afternoon! #connections #kidsmatter #slowdown Ecole J S McCormick

Connection. 💖 A natural moment captured on a Monday morning. Leaning in to remind someone that we care and they matter. #connections #friendships #slowdown Ecole J S McCormick Miss Cooke

This photo captures our week and all the feelings that come with seeing our kids again! Connection is everything in the HUB and at Ecole J S McCormick . What an incredible first week reconnecting and pausing to listen to our kids!

Talon loves books and has a passion for reading ! He entertained us with an enthusiastic reading of Monkey and Me by Emily Gravett. The picture says it all. He was so proud of himself! Ecole J S McCormick

We get creative in the HUB! When there are no hills on the mats, you make hills. 💕 Every day you will see this type of play in the HUB. Kids from different classrooms and grades collaboratively problem solving and working together through play and games. Ecole J S McCormick @anaturk17

We read stories & talk lots about emotions & share our own perspectives! Gemma shone as she shared with us her perspective. She gathered supplies and created her own colour-based key to help the kids identify their emotions. Here she is patiently coaching a student. Ecole J S McCormick

Recently we read The Big Umbrella by Amy June Bates. We all agreed that there’s always enough room for everyone. #inclusion #kindness

We are lucky to have so many positive women in our lives! Each student made a card for the woman they admire the most! One of the recipients was our very Miss T. from the HUB. #InternationalWomansDay Ecole J S McCormick

Today we have been talking about the size of the problem by sharing the book ‘Finn throws a Fit’ by David Elliot. Such an awesome story for learning social skills and self regulation strategies. Ecole J S McCormick
