During our discussions of respect, kindness, tolerance, unity and harmony, the children have looked at our differences and similarities between each other to celebrate our individual qualities. We are inspired by the Bob Marley song “One Love” with the words “One love when your hand reaches out to me. One heart when we touch a new world we will see.”

Our French teacher Cheeba works with the children using music, songs, and creative movement with props and special techniques. Cheeba’s curriculum teaches the children conversational French with self-expression, family vocabulary and human anatomy. Children learn to express their emotions with both English and French vocabulary and build on their empathy, which supports their social and problem solving skills. As proud Canadians, we are learning the National anthem en francais along with familiar places in our beautiful country.
