This week, we started an art project based on the book, "The Elders are watching." We also wrote about why it is important to protect the land and animals.

We also read the story, "Turtle Island." We drew a picture that told the story and we wrote our own version of the story. We included information that we have been learning about during social studies.

In gym, we have been playing badminton. We have learned how to hold a racket and hit a birdie. We have also practiced passing.


Just a reminder, next week is student led conferences. They will be held on Thursday evening and Friday morning next week. You can sign up online for an hour slot. When you come in, your child will lead you through their learning in math, literacy, social studies and science.

Due to conferences on Friday, there will be no school.

Friday March 8, 2016

This week, we worked with both of our buddies. Our grade 5/6 buddies helped us add colour to our own Alberta landscapes, using either oil pastels, chalk pastels, or acrylic paint. Our grade 3/4 buddies taught us about Iris and how we can upload pictures and documents to our profile. The next time we meet with them, they will help us upload a picture to our own Iris! 

In math, both the grade ones and twos have been working on problem solving with addition. In Literacy, we will continue to develop our stories about the Coyote. 

To end our week, we had our compliment circle. Everyone received a compliment and we talked about the circle of courage and the importance of belonging and feeling loved. We all felt very happy and loved as we ended our school day and week. 

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Field Trip Day

Today we went to the Calgary Tower and the new Central Library. We had such a great day!

At the Calgary Tower we went on the glass floor. They told us that the glass floor could hold the weight of two hippos! We also tried to build a tower taller than a meter stick and withstand four gusts of wind. We enjoyed learning about the Calgary Tower and looking at all the other tall buildings in Calgary.

At the library we explored all four floors and completed a scavenger hunt in our groups. Some of our favourite things about the library included playing at the play area, playing snakes and ladders, and reading new books we found in the children's section. 







Thank you so much to the parent volunteers who helped out! :) 


Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is a PD day so there will be no school for children. Have  great weekend!
