To complement our Orton-Gillingham Based literacy program, AcadeCap has invested in the All About Reading Program resources. All About Reading consists of readers and hands-on activities which can be chosen based on each students’ reading level and interests. The resources provide a colourful and multisensory experience for the SMILE students.

The AcadeCap Chronicles is the AcadeCap school newspaper, published monthly. Our News Team researches and documents activities and events at AcadeCap. Our issues consist of feature articles, club news, comics and jokes, cartoons, photos and art, an advice column, trend watch, the game of the month, interviews, and editorials that reflect on current news. Our small team of hard-working reporters and photographers also take on the role of news editors to assemble each issue and provide a digital and print copy for the AcadeCap students to read and enjoy. All AcadeCap students are welcome to submit contributions to the school newspaper in any language but especially in English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin.  Hop, skip, jump, and roll! Hula hoops have a way of putting fun in motion. Young students interact in a variety of games involving large hula hoops. During these activities students are developing their motor skills and eye-hand coordination while playing variations of red light/green light, Simon says, and relay races. On September 28th, Terry Fox run took place at Morrison Park. Students learn about Terry Fox's life and why he started to run around Canada. Let's have a look at this event. Many thanks for your support.  AcadeCap students have some school pets. Every year a group of selected students learns how to take care of the animals as part of their service-learning project. This year, students in Grades 5 or 6 were invited to join the Animal Crew. One of the main responsibilities of the Animal Crew is to ensure that our school animals have fresh food and water every day. Crew members also clean the cages, give baths, and ensure that the animals have time outside their cages for play and exercise. This year, we also created a volunteer position for one of our OSSD students who is completing volunteer hours as part of the high school graduation requirement. The student participated in a mock interview and was accepted for the volunteer position of Assistant Animal Crew Supervisor. One of his tasks will be to maintain the school’s freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Chinchi the chinchilla is a welcome arrival at our school after spending a year at Mme Lucie’s house. In the photo, Chinchi is enjoying the view from her new 4-story cage in the flex space on the PYP side of the school. One of Chinchi’s favourite things to do is to have a dust bath. Rian and Frisk, our skinny pigs, are very active and spend most of their time eating. The students not only learn about animal care they also learn about the biology of the animals. Here is how one student used scientific classification to classify our skinny pigs.
