First day!

Wow! It was opening day in our new school for the Katzie Elementary community. Parents and students enjoyed touring the building and seeing all the beautiful rooms. The Library Learning Commons was ready to be enjoyed and many students checked out books today.

Moving in!

The move has begun! The boxes of books are being trucked to the new school and I've started filling the shelves. It's a beautiful, light filled space and I'm looking forward to working in our new Library Learning Commons. 

Signs of Spring!

Look closely and you will see signs of spring all around. Dandelions are popping their sunny yellow flowers up in unexpected places while trees begin flowering or sending forth new leaves.  For me, seeing students outside, enjoying a run in the sun, is a sure sign of spring! For people in central and eastern Canada, the first sign of spring may be little frogs called Spring Peepers.  Here's a great activity you can do with your family.  Become a nature detective!  Take a look around where you live and then use the comments section below to tell us about signs of spring you've noticed.
