Keeping Informed: Recent Kentville Educational News
- Kings County Students Create Colorful Birds, Learn About Art - Artist Terry Drahos, who leads the Uncommon Art Project, visited Kings County Academy to give an art lesson to the students in grades 2-5. The students learned all about the birds in Nova Scotia and then traced outlines of birds onto heavy-duty mylar paper, colored their birds, and cut them out for hanging. The mylar stencil of the flying bird was also used to create flocks of tempera-paint birds on concrete areas around the school, which slowly disappeared as the fall progressed—just as the real-life birds did as they slowly migrated south.
- Aldershot Elementary Gets Donation for Breakfast Program - Aldershot Elementary received a generous donation of $2,200 to give the school’s breakfast program a boost. The donation was presented by two pastors from the New Hope Wesleyan Church and represented half of the proceeds from a charity golf tournament.
- Kings County Academy Drop Pumpkins to Learn - Kings County Academy students combined fun and learning around Halloween time, as they built vessels to protect pumpkins, which were dropped from a boom truck supplied by Atlantic Arborists onto the basketball court. Each class built a vessel made from materials such as boxes, garbage cans, deflated balls, popcorn, etc. Bryan Turner’s 4/5 class had the winning vessel—as its pumpkin withstood the impact and landed closest to the target—and classes were also recognized for having the least environmental impact and for the appearance of their vessel.

Chalk Talk: Creating Anticipation Guides
Anticipation guides are effective resources to use to monitor students’ knowledge before, during, and after reading. They are particularly beneficial to use with students at the middle and high school levels. Teachers of all content areas should be responsible for developing students’ reading skills, and anticipation guides are simple to create in conjunction with textbooks in social studies, science, and other subjects. It is widely known that is essential that students be actively engaged during all phases of reading, and anticipation guides provide a way for this to occur. The first section of the anticipation guide is the “before reading,” or pre-reading , section. This section should primarily be used to gauge students’ prior knowledge of the material. Teachers may include true-or-false or multiple-choice questions to see what students know before they read. Teachers may also decide to include KWL charts in the prewriting sections, with students being asked to fill out what they already know (K) about the content, what they want to learn (W), and ultimately what they learn.
