Message from the Head of Junior School: April 12th, 2019

On By havergaljuniorschool

Dear JS Parents,

Today marked a special day in the Junior School as our Kindergarten and Grade 12 students joined together for the “Kindergarten-Grad Tea-Party in the Brenda Robson Hall.”  This lovely event brings our youngest and oldest learners together. at the bookend of their time at Havergal. On another note, we were once again blown away in prayers this morning by our talented Grade 6 students. With a beautiful vocal performance, and a powerful presentation on “Women Worth Knowing,” it was the perfect way to end the week!  Be sure to check out Havergal’s social media pages for coverage of both.

Primary and Junior Parent Math Academy Session 

Kudos to the primary and junior parents who participated in a half-day mathematics learning session, Tuesday April 9 about “Number Structures.”  Together, we learned about the significance of number structure within and across the grades.  While we solved math problems and discussed solutions, we also developed an understanding of the purpose and impact of the mathematics that the girls are learning at the Junior School. As one of the parents reminded us, “At the Junior School, the girls are learning Mathematics, not doing arithmetic.”  Stay tuned for next year’s series of Primary and Junior Parent Math Academy sessions.
