 Week of June 1-5

We have made it to June! 

We have been busy at work measuring objects and comparing which group of objects was longer. 

I am asking for shoeboxes once again as we will soon begin our animal research project and will be making animal dioramas. I'll let you know if we need any more supplies. 

We have also been doing some story writing and will have those completed soon. 

We have Sports Day coming up on June 25th and the last day is Friday, June 26th. 

Hope you all are enjoying a lovely weekend :)

 Week of May 25th - 29th 

We had an amazing week with our field trip to the ZOO! It was a beautiful day and a big thank you to all of our parent volunteers who accompanied us! The kids had fun and learned a lot about penguins. 

We babysat the 4 ducks and the goose from Kindergarten today and got to watch them have a bath and eat banana, peas and carrots. 

At buddies today we created self-portraits in pixel form (like MineCraft).

Next week we will be walking to the spray park on Tuesday to "learn from the land" with our Elder, Hal Eagletail. 

We are staying busy with learning about Canadian money, mapping, plants and animal movements. 

We planted our garden today and are now waiting for it to grow:) 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks to those who have already sent in baby pictures - we're waiting for a few more and then we'll complete our activity this next week. 

We planted our bean seeds this week and are waiting for them to start growing. We will be planting our vegetable garden in the next couple of weeks and will be watching the progress of the plants. 

We have our zoo trip coming up on May 27th! Forms will be going out this next week. I will let you know if I need more volunteers :) 

In math we have started our balancing equations unit and have been working on 6 + 3 = 15 - 9 and deciding if it's equal or NOT equal. 

I hope you all have a chance to enjoy your Mother's Day weekend! and spend some time in the sun :)

We have enjoyed a couple of community walks this week to the Pirate park where the kids discovered a nest of ladybugs! 

On our walk, we looked for signs of spring and found many buds coming out on the trees.

In SS we have been compare past and present and I'm planning an activity where I need a baby picture of your child between 3 months and a year old please. You can email me a picture and I'll print it out here or you can send in a printed picture which will be returned to you. We are going to do a mural and guess who's picture it is. 

In math we have been working on subtraction from 20 and have completed fact families and missing addends. We are moving on to balancing equations. 

We will be planting our bean seeds this week and will be observing the growth of the roots, stem and leaves. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend in the sun!

Thank you for all coming to enjoy our celebration of learning yesterday! I am so proud of the kids for doing such a great job! 

This coming week we have a short week as there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, April 24th due to a PD day. 

We also have our FIELD TRIP to "The Confluence" (formerly Fort Calgary) on Wednesday, April 22nd. We will be gone from the school from 9AM to 2PM. Please ensure that your child is prepared for the day with a water bottle, 2 snacks and a lunch. Part of the day will be outdoors so please make sure your child is dressed in layers so that they can be comfortable both inside and outside. 

Please contact me at tmburch@cbe.ab.ca if you have any questions or concerns. 

Hope you all have a great weekend!
