Its been an exciting week for us. We found out last Sunday that we had been shortlisted for two Canadian Weblog Awards, Best Education Weblog and Best New Weblog. We are honoured to have made it this far. We are in some very good company. To check out the other short listed nominees head over to Ninjamatics.
It also seems to be an exciting time in our province for Education. There are some wonderful pilot programs starting here. A couple weeks ago in our Weekend Links we shared a story about a Kindergarten program in Invermere that takes place in a retirement home. Here on the South Island we will have a Nature Kindergarten that will have a Kindergarten Teacher and Early Childhood Educator working collaboratively. This project is the collaboration of many passionate people and organizations they have a blog up documenting their process. Another exciting education story to come out of our beautiful province is the story of School District 43 where they will have Reggio Inspired Program for Kindergarten to Grade 5. What an exciting time!
