I hope you all enjoyed your May long weekend! Can you believe we are in the last leg of the year? This time flies by, but we have so much important work to finish (and even start!) Luckily, the students are showing an amazing amount of engagement in the work we are doing. I am so proud of them all!
Thank you to the families who have shared pictures of their children outside, in nature. They are a fantastic complement to our weekend journal writing, give the students an opportunity to practice their presentation skills in front of the class, and celebrate the many opportunities we have to be outside in our gorgeous Spring weather!
Between swimming and our field-trip, we felt very "on-the-go" this week!
In gym, we added to our repertoire of skipping rhymes by practicing counting rhymes and learning a "Red Hot Pepper" (fast pace) rhyme and action rhyme. All students are loving long-rope skipping! Ask your child to teach you one of the rhymes this weekend!
Thank you to volunteers who have been able to join us for our swimming sessions. We appreciate all the support you give, from keeping us organized and on time, to drying our clothing when we accidentally wear them in the showers out of sheer excitement! Swimming continues on Tuesdays and Thursdays until June 5th.
We thoroughly enjoyed our field trip to Ralph Klein Park on Wednesday! Thank you to the volunteers who were able to join us for the day, we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did! Something to keep in mind: In addition to a brand-new nature playground opening soon, Ralph Klein Park offers a FREE Summer Nature Drop-In Program. This is the website for more information: http://www.calgary.ca/CSPS/Parks/Pages/Programs/Dropin-programs.aspx
