There are projects from previous years. Our staff earned awards from the government for this web site, which allowed us to commission the talents of Hondo Varep, who painted 11 huge paintings depicting the history of Barrie, through the life of Emma King. Please view these lovely paintings either in our Library or by clicking here. We are especially proud of our Living Treasures Project which features talented citizens who give back to our community.
Marian Small's Website: One Two Infinity Click on the presentations on the side to find examples of lessons that are open ended, differentiated and focus on the "Big Ideas". Highly recommended for all Math Teachers from JK to Gr. 8.
Our new focus for critical thinking is Point of View. What is the author's purpose in this book/article/report? Whose point of view is missing? We are teaching students to detect bias and stereotyping. See curriculum expectations and links to Media Literacy where it is critical to learn how to protect ourselves from scams and false advertising.
