=Welcome to the Homepage for our 2009 - 2010 ILF project named,= = Literacy Comes In Cans! = = =

Project Overview:
Blacks Harbour School is situated in a small fishing village along the Bay of Fundy. The local economy is almost entirely dependent on one company, Connors Brothers [canned sardines], which employs the majority of our residents.

In the **Literacy Comes in CANS** proposal, our school will partner with Connors Brothers to involve students in innovative learning projects designed to motivate and excite them in the areas of reading and writing.

Using the Connors **CAN** logo and Connors volunteers, all students K-3 will participate in a multi-aged, multi-levelled program centering on the “**CAN**” theme – we **CAN** read at grade level, we **CAN** get published, we **CAN** make reading and writing fun.

The three phase program [Sept – May] will merge present curriculum outcomes with modern technology to create exciting student centered projects. These projects include: Creating books on CD, using on-line publishing to produce pamphlets and books, photo story projects, and more.
