January Report Cards We certainly hope that report card celebrations are going on this weekend.  Students have worked very hard and should be proud of the work they have done. Science We are exploring the concepts of “Hot and Cold” during our science learning time. Reading a thermometer and comparing temperatures has been part of our learning goals this past week. We will be moving into inquiry experiences where the students will learn how and when temperatures change.  Social Studies We are looking how Calgary has changed over time. We are hearing stories and learning about how missionaries and the N.W.M.P. began to build the city we now know  Mathletics We are practicing addition strategies and learning the place value of numbers. Rehearsing adding and subtracting numbers to 18 at home would be a gift to your child.  Please return your math calendars.   Upcoming dates: Feb. 3-7 - One World Drumming Feb. 11 - Heritage Park Field Trip for Rooms 2 and

Note Regarding Tasty Tuesday Lunch on February 11, 2020: Due to our field trip on February 11, students will be missing the Tasty Tuesday hot lunch.  I’m sending my utmost apologies as I realized too late for a bagged lunch to be provided for those students.  Would you please send a lunch with your child for the field trip, and we will reheat the Tasty Tuesday lunch and serve it to students on Wednesday, February 12.  Thank you so much for your understanding. Valentine Exchange: We will be exchanging valentines with each other on Wednesday, February 12.  A class list was sent home with each student today. It would be really nice if students personally addressed each card (This would also be great copying practice for students who struggle with this skill). Food Bank Donations: We are collecting donations for the Calgary Food Bank.  Items can be sent in with your child or dropped off in the boxes by the office.  Peanut butter, spaghetti sauce and macaroni and cheese are it

February 12, 2020 Heritage Park Field Trip: Our field trip to Heritage Park yesterday was absolutely amazing!  We had the opportunity to explore the homes of the Prince and Thorpe families, who greatly influenced the development of Calgary. We saw hidden staircases, interesting artifacts that we guessed the uses of, and played with toys children had in the past.  We began our time in the one room schoolhouse by riding our ponies to the stable in the school yard. In the schoolhouse we tried cursive writing, learned about Roman numerals and learned about how teachers in the past checked students for sickness before school started.  We’ve often talked about how we would love to travel back in time, and our day at Heritage Park allowed us to do just that. Thank you so very much to all the volunteers who generously shared their day with us, making this great field trip possible.
