Good to see you are blogging. There are a lot of great things going on at EGS that you could write about and share...how have the kids learning changed over the past five years?

try and blog at least twice a week and reflect directly on how technology has affected the way we work, play and learn.

Don't forget th class blog as well. It's an important part of the learning conversation in this course.

Our Eel Ground Drama club was created over 2 years ago. In our first year we won 6 awards from NB dramfest in Fredericton. our school along with Atlantic First Nation Helpdesk made it into a movie. It was able to be purchased from our school. It was called The People vs Mary Moses, it was about mother drinking while pregnant. The story is about a boy who was diagnosed with FASD and took his mother to court for drinking while pregnant. It was a great story.

On our second year of Drama it was about suicide prevention. The club won 5 awards for this production. I will some day play this movie for you guys to watch. I hope you guys enjoy it. Along with that the Eel Ground School Drama Club also was nominated for a National Award bye our local writer Judy Bowman. The club did successfully win that award. One of our students will be accepting this award.
