Highlights

In Social Studies we learned about the Blackfoot people.  We examined artifacts from the Living Traditions kit, which came from the Glenbow Museum.  Students posed questions and sketched some of the artifacts.  In Science we continued experimenting with making objects float.  Students were given a piece of tinfoil and had to design a boat that could float while holding as many snapcubes as possible.  On Wednesday we watched an assembly by the kindergarten and grade 1 students.       

Important Information

Tomorrow is twin/triplet day.  Students planned with a partner or group about what they could wear.  (If your child is unsure, they can always wear dark coloured pants with a white or light coloured t-shirt).  Students are also welcome to wear any school spirit wear.   

-Scholastic book orders are due next Tuesday, June 5th.

*All student library books must be returned June 8.

Sports Day
Our annual Sports Day on Tuesday, June 26th is quickly approaching! Our Comprehensive School Health Committee has been working hard to put together fun filled events for students to enjoy. Every year, we have multiple stations set up that students rotate through ie. relay races, team building activities, organized sports, and much more! We are asking for volunteers to help run stations on June 26th. If you are available, please email your child’s classroom teacher. All volunteers must have current security clearance. We are looking forward to another successful Sports Day! 

Important Dates
Please see the school website for the June calendar.

Homework

Poster Project
As part of our Language Arts program, students will be asked to design a poster and then present it to the class.  Students may choose any topic they want for their poster (e.g., sport, food, hobby, club, a family trip, an animal, themself, etc.). 

Students will receive a blank poster when it is their turn.  They may include photographs, draw pictures, cut pictures out of magazines, or use writing to tell about their topic.  Once students are finished they may bring their poster back to school (typically I ask that posters be completed in about a week).  Students will then talk about their poster in front of the class.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at lcbain@cbe.ab.ca .
