Leprechauns and BFG

We continued to explore and discover the communities of the Blackfoot People and learn more about their story. We learned that the bison was a very important animal used. Ask me to tell you what the bison was used for and how they hunted for them. We looked at more artifacts such as a mocassin, arrow, trade beads, and porcupine quills. 

We had our second Big Friend Group (BFG) today. This is where we get to work with students from kindergarten to grade 4 on a task with a new teacher. Ask me to tell you who my BFG teacher is. Today we had to design a tower that could hold a pot of gold. Ask me to tell you if my group was successful and what my design looked like. 





Please check your e-mails for important information that was sent out through the weekly messenger. Have a great weekend.

Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...

Curriculum Term Letter

Each grade team has created a Curriculum Term Letter to communicate with families about the learning that their child will be doing from September to December. The term plan specifies curricular outcomes that the grade will be focusing their instruction and assessment around. It is our hope that this letter will begin to provide you with a clear picture of your child’s learning over the year. You can find your child’s Curriculum Term Letter on our school website under Classes & Departments and the Resources on the right hand side of the page.   For further information on the Alberta Program of Studies, please visit the Learn Alberta website: https://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mychildslearning/ Housekeeping: **Tomorrow (Wednesdays) is our library day.
