Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow

Happy back-to-school time! What grade are you entering and what do you most look forward to doing?

Luca: I am entering Grade 5 and I look forward to harder math, more books to read, and seeing my friends.

Nico: I start Grade 2. I look forward to making new friends and seeing my old friends.

What is the worst thing about going back to school?

Luca: Less time for video games!

Nico: I have to do math and I don’t like snowy or rainy days at school.

How do you prepare for back to school time? How do your parents help you stay mentally healthy during the school year?

Luca: I sometimes buy new supplies, a backpack, clothes and shoes. When I have a problem at school, my parents will talk to me about it and I usually feel better.

Nico: I need to buy a new water bottle because my other one broke. My parents help me with not as much screen time, lots of sleep and healthy snacks for school.

What do you think you’re learning in school today that you will use in the future?

Luca: I’ve always wanted to make video games so learning math and coding will be useful, and I love those subjects.

Nico: I’m learning how to do subtraction better and learning to count money.
