A reminder that our field-trip to Fort Calgary is this TUESDAY, January 30th (not Wednesday as written in the paperwork home).
Our scheduled activities will happen inside the Fort, but there will be an opportunity for students to venture outside during the lunch break, so please still send them dressed for the weather.
Thank you to all the families who have supported our exploration of masks, by sending in different examples from home. We have been taking opportunities to learn more about them through sketching and asking questions. Our mask exploration is on-going, so feel free to continue sending in examples. Our collection right now includes a variety of masks for costume, but if you have any related to other areas (sports masks, work masks, etc.) we'd love to see them!
While cleaning Sally and Mander's terrarium, Mrs. LeBlond also discovered two pupas from the mealworms she feeds them, so we are enjoying some incidental learning about life cycles!
Finally, students began exploring the school digital cameras so that we can use them to document our learning. They were introduced to the care of the cameras, and basics on how to take a photo. After traveling through the school taking photos of objects, many students reflected on some problems they were encountering, and together we came up with some solutions, or at least things to try next time.
In your child's mail folder, please find a pink notice regarding our upcoming Family Dance!
Looking ahead...Friday, February 9th is a half-day. Students will be dismissed at 11:38am.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Ms. Thomas
