Highlights
We released our butterflies today and wrote our final entry in our butterfly diaries.  We also did butterfly printmaking.  Tomorrow morning we are reading stories to the kindergarten class.  Last Friday we read with Ms. Kreze’s grade 4 class.

*Students will be bringing their work home over the next couple of days.  Please empty the items out of their backpack and home folder each night to make room. 

We will be making ice-cream as part of our Science units on “Liquids” and “Hot and Cold.”   Once the ice-cream is made, students will have the opportunity to taste a small sample.  If you do not want your child to taste the ice-cream, or if they have an allergy/intolerance, please email me at lcbain@cbe.ab.ca.
The ingredients are: half and half cream, sugar and artificial vanilla flavouring.

Report cards will be handed out on the last day of school (Wednesday, June 27).  If your child will not be here on the last day, please send a self-addressed and prepaid (stamped) envelope to the office and we will mail it to you.
