Service opportunities not only benefit our students, but our whole community. Last week, the students in Grade 4J shared themselves and their learning with the residents of the James Bay Care Home. Students prepared themselves first by discussing what to expect from the experience and then by deciding what to share with the seniors. After much thought, we decided to share some personal narrative writing, some special items, some legend picture books and in some cases our musical talents. The students were thoughtful and interested in the residents' lives as they were of the children. We learned that spending time speaking and listening with others is a valuable and cherished opportunity.
