April’s Successful Learning Trait: Curiosity

“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for being curious,

so do it with enthusiasm!”

~Dorothy Parker

I’d like to recognize and thank our EOES families and staff who did a

magnificent job of showing their respect and compassion for the Bronco

Humboldt Hockey Team by wearing a team shirt yesterday. A simple

gesture by our school which contained so much compassion and heartfelt

sympathy for those affected by the tragic accident in Saskatchewan. I think

that when we offer opportunities for our children to demonstrate

compassion and caring we teach our children that others are not alone, we too

feel their pain and loss. It also helps us teach our children that we are a strong

and committed community who support our fellow Canadians through difficult

times, they are not alone! Thank you Oceanside families, you are definitely

committed and caring and your efforts were noticed and

appreciated!

We have so much learning happening in our classrooms. It is so wonderful to

see our students actively engaged in their learning. I know that parents will be

impressed when they come to our Parent Teacher Conferences and see and

hear about the growth in their child’s learning. In our Intermediate

classes, students are designing bridges, learning how to code their own

programs, looking at global issues, writing oral speeches about topics that are

important to our students and oh so many new curricular concepts. Our

Kindergarten students have started with a series of field trips so their learning

about their community and the ecosystems that we are fortunate to have can

be explored and appreciated. Similarly our Primary classes are learning many

new and interesting Science facts about Bees, Butterflies and useful Insects

and why it is important to provide safe environments so they don’t

disappear. Our WE club is also continuing on with their global goal and

establishing some up and coming events. We will also be sending 12 Grade 5

and 6 students in a couple of weeks to a Leadership convention so that they

can learn and share some of the skills they can put to good use in our school.

Finally, Track and Field practices will be starting soon. This year the Track and

Field Meet will once again be at Ballenas High School for Grades 4-7. More

information will be shared in next week’s newsletter.

One benefit of using your

newsletter as a promotional

tool is that you can reuse

content from other marketing

materials, such as press re-

leases, market studies, and

reports.

While your main goal of dis-

tributing a newsletter might

be to sell your product or ser-

vice, the key to a successful

newsletter is making it useful

to your readers.

A great way to add useful

content to your newsletter is

to develop and write your own

articles, or include a calendar

of upcoming events or a spe-

cial offer that promotes a new

product.

You can also research articles

or find “filler” articles by ac-

cessing the World Wide Web.

You can write about a variety

of topics but try to keep your

articles short.

Much of the content you put

in your newsletter can also be

used for your Web site. Mi-

crosoft Publisher offers a

simple way to convert your

newsletter to a Web publica-

writing your newsletter, con-

vert it to a Web site and post

Selecting pictures or graphics

is an important part of adding

text.

If the newsletter is distributed

internally, you might comment

upon new procedures or im-
