WHAT'S HAPPENING Anglophone east school District
Black History Month at Evergreen Park School! Evergreen Park is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment that recognizes and celebrates diversity throughout the year and to this end many of our classrooms honoured and celebrated Black History Month this past month. Students had the chance to learn about many of our illustrious Canadians like Jarome Iginla, Viola Desmond and Willie O'Ree in addition to Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman. They also learned about the Underground Railroad and the importance of Canada's role as the final destination for many of those who were seeking to escape the bonds of slavery. "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots." - Marcus Garvey

Arnold H McLeod School – Did you know that at Arnold H. McLeod School all grade 1-5 students participate in Math Flex Groups 4 days a week for an hour? Kindergarten students also math flex but among their own learning team. There are four flex groups: 1-2 Immersion, 1-2 English, 3-5 Immersion and 3-5 English. Students participate in a group in their zone of proximal development or learning level. Some groups are big, some are small . Students practice Independence( one of AHM’s Learning Habits in our Code of Conduct) as they move about the building to their math flex teacher. They get to work in different classrooms and have a different teacher ( not their primary homeroom teacher) in many cases. Not only do they work at their level, they also feel confident, have more success and teachers report there are less classroom behaviour incidents at this time. Also, for example, instead of a teacher trying to teach six different math levels or lessons in one room, they teach one lesson with minor differentiation. This is success for all. In three groups , a resource teacher is added to a math flex team to allow them to work with individualized students and make groups smaller for that grade level team. Here is a grade 5 stretch learning group. They were using a budget to organize and plan a 7-day vacation for their family for March Break. They were learning about fractions, percentages and decimals. Two I wonder questions surfaced . 1. Why are trips more expensive in March compared to May? 2. I wonder why our money is different than American money in colour and value? This led to conversations about commonwealth countries, the fight for US independence, the different coins countries use and how Canada had silver dollars way way back when before the loonie (the students are 10), and a discussion about carbon paper and Gestetner copiers. Above you willl see a silver dollar that had been sealed away for 42 years. The excitement was unbelievable. The students then signed a carbon copy paper (another history lesson in math) and resealed the coin knowing their joy and actions had given their teacher goosebumps. This is just one example of the power of Flexible Math groups. Students can flex up and down groups any time their learning profile changes.

United Way 211 Information Line - As we know life can be difficult for many of our residents at the best of times, but the COVID-19 pandemic has created a new layer of stress and anxiety for everyone. Information is changing rapidly. Demand for critical social services and community programs has increased and in many cases the way these supports are delivered has had to change. That's why the United Way launched the 211 Service in NB: to help every person find the support they need. 211 is free, confidential, and acts as the front door to support, helping people navigate the complex network of government, community and social programs and services quickly to find what they need for their unique situation. When someone contacts 211, they are connected with a real person who will ask questions about their situation and then suggest programs or services that can help. Often, they can be registered on the spot. This eliminates the stress of trying to wade through the changing information we are all processing each day.
Phones are answered 24/7 in 170 languages.
Whether you are looking for Government Resources, Mental Health Resources, Food Access Resources or Financial Relief Resources 211 can help you.
