In our constantly changing environment, having life skills is an essential part of being able to meet the challenges of everyday life. Our adapted curriculum works on improving life skills for students with learning diversities combining daily living, social, and job skills. The consideration of this plan stems from our commitment to developing self-regulated, independent, and responsible citizens guided by the school ethical and spiritual values.
K1 students went to “Playo”. This is what they said about their trip:
“We made our own chocolate tiramisu and it was, YUMMY!”
“We met the characters and enjoyed the show. We learned ‘Recycling helps keep our world clean’.”
“We danced and rode a ‘Choo, Choo Train’ all around the place. That was an exciting ride!”
“We climbed the maze all the way to the top and back. That was so cool!”
Grade 1 learners’ first experience at the public library left them with wonder in their eyes and happiness in their hearts. Their excitement could not be contained as they explored the wonders of reading.
From the Mad Hatter to Matilda, from Tracy Beaker to Gandalf, they have all defined our “Dress as your Favorite Character Day.”
With their dazzling costumes, Cycle II students brilliantly retold their stories from the perspective of their favorite character.
At BBS we believe that our educators are life-long learners. Therefore, during the past 2 months they attended several Professional Development (PD) workshops about best practices in assessment, play based learning and the importance of integration. PD sessions are an important and ongoing process at BBS and IBPYP that prepare the educators to develop and expand upon their skills and knowledge.
