Dear Jackman ICS Families,
It was so wonderful to see and sing with so many of you at our annual Festivals of Light Sing-along yesterday morning. On behalf of all the teachers and staff at the Lab School, I send you and your family very warm wishes for a wonderful holiday.
Coding Workshop
A big thank you to Nick Song, who organized an exciting event for students from Grade 2 to 5. On Monday, JICS was visited by the amazing Code Mobile! Run by Canada Learning Code, students participated in a Scratch coding workshop, where they learned to program a video game from the ground up. Below is a link to a SWAY Nick created - enjoy!
