Hello DPE!

It's our final week of school! 
Yay!  You all made it! 
We had a quite interesting journey this term, but I believe we also experienced different dimensions of learning for sure.
Although I do not get to say this to everyone in person, I want everyone to have a wonderful summer.

Stay healthy and happy!
Happy Summer Break!

​Ms. Lee

Upon the completion of each CHALLENGE song, you will receive an extra badge from me.

​Ms. Lee

Hello DPE Families!

It was so great to be re-connected with many of you through e-mail and TEAMS last week!
Quite a few of you showed your interest in participating in our upcoming activities/events such as Peacock's Got Talent 2020, Recorder Karate and Band Tutorial. 
This week, we will still continue with the Activities of the Week along with the activities mentioned above.
Furthermore, I would like to extend the learning opportunities for the Grade 5 students by adding the Introduction to Band program. This is a space where they can explore and learn about different band instruments to help them get ready for Band next year.  I strongly recommend our 5th graders check this space out some time. You never know, you might find your true passion!
I am more than happy to be able to offer you various learning opportunities at this time and I look forward to working with you all this week. 

Ms. Lee

​Ms. Lee

Hello DPE families!

Did you notice that many people are using music to share time with each other, make each other laugh, and let others know that people are holding them in their thoughts. With this in mind:

A Little Night Music Challenge
You may have heard about the idea of making noise at 7:00pm to show appreciation for our essential service workers. I know many of you have been doing this-now let’s add more noise!
Every evening at 7:00pm you are challenged to step outside and make some music: sing a song, play an instrument, bang a rhythm on a pot or pan – ANYTHING! When you finish your song, shout “thank you!” to all the people who are working to keep us all safe, healthy and fed during this time.
I would love to see a picture or video of you doing this! Send it along if you can to nicole.lee@sd35.bc.ca. I will try to post my family doing this, too.

Have fun and have a wonderful week!

Ms. Lee
