Hi Families,

A reminder that tomorrow, Friday, February 28th, is a PD Day, no school for students.

We started our week making predictions about the new lunar cycle. Some common names for the lunar cycle are the Worm Moon or Sap Moon. Students made connections between previous lunar cycles, as well as our learning with Green Calgary to add detail to their predictions.

Making connections to a variety of sources of information,
as well as past experiences and personal observations. 

Our Phys. Ed. time this week was spent outside enjoying the beautiful weather, and the sun filled mornings. During this time, we also got reacquainted with our school garden, noticing signs of seasonal change: new growth on bushes, buds coming up in one corner, and green ground cover peeking through the snow, giving us local examples to include in our lunar cycle observations.

Students recalled information from our Green Calgary presentation last week to identify foods in grocery flyers, and create a table

Ask your child about each food they sorted.
How did you know it was a "yes" food or a "no" food?

Ask your child about each food they sorted.
Were there any foods you needed to do further research on?

Grade 2 students completed their second buddy test today.

Next week, we start our drumming sessions with One World Drumming. There will be an opportunity for families to come and watch an informal performance on Friday, March 6th. Please watch the blog for times. Our drumming sessions are first thing, every morning.

Reminders for next week:
- please continue to exchange your child's Home Reading books on a regular basis.
- Scholastic book orders are due on Monday.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Ms. Thomas
