Yesterday we had Jane Mah, a Speech Pathologist from Alberta Health Services, come speak to our children about expected and unexpected choices. Using resources from the Social Detective series, (click here to read the book) Jane discussed what happens when you make an unexpected choice, and what happens when you make expected ones! Please use these pictures as discussion points with your child tonight.

Thank you to all of those families that donated to Jacket Racket!
