Students in Kg wouldn’t stay behind; they also go global. It’s good to see them being in charge of what they want to share with the world. They are having a great online presence where they could get their parents to give feedback about certain activities, or where they could tell the world what they’ve been learning in class.

This year in ES, technology will be going to students in their learning environment. WAB decided to get rid of the 2 computer labs we had. These labs were used mainly by students in Kg to Gr.2. WAB has managed to get laptops to all students in the ES. Students in the lower Elementary School share a set of 23 laptops per grade level. This has increased significantly their accessibility to technology. In Kg, we had concerns about the use of trackpads. But after a few weeks of using the laptops, students are getting more and more familiar with the them. However, we are ready to provide mouses, should they have difficulties using the trackpads.
Students were asked to watch youtube videos about the process of producing different things. They saw how chocolate, orange juice, potato chips etc are made. They were asked to share their finding with the class. Each one of them shared things from their own perspective. Here’s is an example of what they said:

Each year, the Kg students have great fun experiencing one aspect of a totally different culture. During their “Who Am I” unit of inquiry, they have a chance to listen to Congolese music, watch a video clip and try to imitate the dancers. They are at the same time appreciating other people’s culture. What a great way of emphasizing a multicultural learning environment. Watch the video to see for yourself
