Friday Blog!

Halloween is just around the corner. Students can dress up on the 31st and take part in a whole school parade at 9:30am that morning. Please ensure your child's costume is appropriate for a young children.

Ms. Bennett will be putting together a Remembrance Day slideshow and is inviting school families to send her photographs of family members who are veterans or current members of the Canadian Arm Forces. Please send in all photographs by the deadline of Friday November 1st. With the photographs please include the Canadian Arm Forces veteran or current member’s name, the war or peace keeping mission they participated in, if possible, where the photo was taken, and their relationship to you (for example great grandfather, aunt, uncle, etc.). Ms. Bennett’s email address is mebennett@cbe.ab.ca

Students will be collecting food donations for the Veteran's Food Bank throughout the next 2 weeks. The donation box is located in the office.

Students have completed their artistic representation of carpet weaving during their Artist-in-residence work. They applied a weave and tied knots strategically. During this activity, students thought about young children who spend hours each day doing this work, rather than going to school. Thank you so much to the parents who were able to volunteer their help!

Students continued to analyze their rock tests. They are coming to a better understanding of the type of rocks they have. We are in the initial stages of writing a hypothesis. 

This week students learned about arrays and how this relates to multiplication.  

Students built their own arrays using manipulatives and then graphed the results.They included  repeat addition sentences and multiplication sentences.

Students continue to connect with the land. We ventured outside to the top of the hill behind our school where they now have a special sitting spot. After discussing the Rights and Responsibilities of all Canadian citizens, we read Malala outside and using clip boards, students reflected on the rights they have and the responsibilities this holds them to.
