Bruno St-Aubin from Montréal Visits Chine Drive Students!!
Bruno St-Aubin - Surprise Author Visit for Chine Drive!!Last Monday, September 27th, the Kindergarten, and Grades One and Two students were very excited to receive a surprise visit from our author friend, Bruno St-Aubin. Bruno is a well known childrens' author and illustrator from Montréal who was in Toronto to promote his books at the Word on the Street Festival. With one afternoon free, he offered to visit his friends at Chine Drive. Students were engaged in his vivacious story, George's Antlers and had an opportunity to watch as he showed them and used their ideas to create an original illustration. He gave away one illustration to Trillium H.

The Blue Spruce program for Grades Kindergarten to Grade 3 is off to a spectacular start. The classes have already heard Mrs. Dassios read 2 nominated books, Boo Hoo Bird, by previously nominated, very talented author and illustrator Jeremy Tankard. Second book was Bradley McGogg, the Very Fine Frog, by the first time author, Tim Beiser and illustrator Rachel Berman. The Kindies really enjoyed creating an illustration reflection on their experience of the books. The Grade 1,2 and 3 classes will be using a Memory Book to record their thoughts and illustrations. 8 books, and 8 weeks to go! Who will you vote for???
The Silver Birch Club meets Tuesdays at noonhour @ Chine Library. Many students from Grades 2-6 have had the opportunity to borrow books and started reading just before the Winter Break. Mrs. Daskalakis has been keenly reading and meeting with us. The Silver Birch Memory books will be ready to go home this week.
The Grade 7-8 classes have started reading in groups from a selection of 10 nominated Red Maple books. They will meet weekly to reflect and study the novels in 6 sessions. The students will all have a TDSB email account, which will permit them to join the Red Maple WIKI for Chine Drive. We have coordinated a WIKI online, where the students will have an opportunity to logon and post their reflections and responses to classmates postings. Parents may monitor postings, but only students can participate to the discussions as teachers admininster the site.
