LPCI Library Learning Commons May 26, 2023 Newsletter

Engage, Inspire, Empower

Our goal is to support the success of our students, to promote a life-long enjoyment of reading, and to provide knowledge building experiences with 24/7 access to information in a welcoming environment that is conducive to learning.

We  strive to achieve this goal through attention to Equity, Well Being and Achievement.

 During May we celebrate Asian and Jewish Heritage months. See our resource documents Asian Heritage Month and Jewish Heritage Month for more support.

The TDSB Character Trait for May is Integrity.

Critical thinking vs disinformation | Break the Fake

Not falling for misinformation can sometimes come down to "intellectual humility" – being conscious of one's own bias and ability to be wrong. 

We hope this newsletter will be a support to you as we read, research, and learn together at Lawrence Park C.I. @LPCIlibrarylife
