The Lunar New Year will be celebrated on February 10, 2024, marking the first new moon in the lunar calendar. Similar to the Gregorian Calendar New Year (January 1st), celebrations will begin the night before the first day of the new year, but Lunar New Year often lasts 15 days until the full moon arrives. This year, celebrants will welcome the Year of the Dragon.
Festivities may include sharing food with loved ones, honouring ancestors, fireworks, and parades. During this occasion, people often visit their elders. Children often receive money, sometimes in lucky red envelopes, candy, or new clothes. Traditionally, the Lunar New Year is celebrated by many Asian countries such as China, Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and the Philippines.
The GECDSB wishes all those who are celebrating a very Happy Lunar New Year! May the year ahead be prosperous and positive.

I saw this idea online and always wanted to try it. Synonym Paint Chips! They will be hole punched, put on a metal ring, and kept near our Language board as a reference tool for students to use when writing.

Try these small acts of self respect for 30 days and you'll start 2023 with a completely different mentality.

Some of our new mentor texts are here!!!! Excited to plan lessons with the SOR team next week to support language comprehension around the big idea of environmental sustainability. These lessons will be premiering in a GECDSB classroom near you during round 2 of SOR training.

Math and literacy come together as we create our families using loose parts, pattern blocks, and numbers. We then tell our friends about our families demonstrating communication skills. We also have picture word cards of families, too! @AVG_Griffins

Families are all different, and are formed in many different ways. Thank you to @EssexCountyLib for this great inclusive book about families to help our youngest learners understand in a developmentally appropriate way. @AVG_Griffins
