Sunday May 29

We had an excellent time on our bridge walk and I would like to thank the parent volunteers for coming out to support our learning. Giving students these real life experiences is so instrumental to their understanding of the ideas we discuss in class.

Here is the homework for this week.

Sunday May 23

Our Bridge Walk is in 2 days.

 

Some highlights from this week include the testing of the structure of the arch. We completed an experiment to see how much weight arches of different sizes could hold.

In social studies we are investigating how some global organizations help people around the world. The students are creating posters including their research that they will present to the class. Some of the groups being studied are, The World Wildlife Fund, Team Seas, Team Trees and The Red Cross.

In Math students are working to develop their understanding of measurement concepts that include using mm. cm. and m. to compare different objects. We have also discussed the kilometre and how it is used for larger distances.

In LA, students are finishing their climbing stories through revisions and editing for clarity and punctuation.

Here is this week's homework.

We are looking forward to our upcoming field trips on May 17th and May 25th. A reminder to wear our formal uniforms, pack comfortable shoes and check the weather on those days. Thank you to all the volunteers who have allowed us to go on these special events. We couldn't do it without you!

I am still looking for  a few baby pictures for our upcoming assembly. Please send those in if you have not done so already. Thank you, and thank you to those who have already sent them in.

Here is this weeks' homework.

Important Info

Grade 3 students will be hosting a Character Education Assembly towards the end of May. Our theme for the assembly is based around Global Citizenship and making a positive difference in the local and global community.  As part of the assembly the Grade 3 teachers would like to make a slideshow featuring our Grade 3 students as babies.  This will be a sweet way to say farewell to our Grade 3's and showcase how our world's future is in the hands of these babies:) We are asking parents to please email a baby photo to their classroom teacher by May 13th so that we can compile and make the slideshow in time for the assembly.

We are planning to go on two field trips this month. The first is on  May 17th to the Zoo. We are waiting on whether we have bussing for this trip so it is not fully confirmed yet. The second is on May 25th , which will be our bridge walk. This trip has been confirmed. We are still needing volunteers for both trips and may not be able to go if we don't meet the supervision requirements.

Here is this week's homework.

Field Trips

There are two upcoming field trips scheduled in May. The first field trip is Tuesday, May 17th to the Calgary Zoo. We then will go for a bridge walk in downtown Calgary on May 25th.   Parent volunteers are needed in order to make these trips happen. We need to have 5 parent volunteers for each day and without help we will not be able to go. Please,  email me at damcvea@cbe.ab.ca to let me know you can help.Thank you for you support.

Here is this week's homework.

Here is this week's homework.

From Mrs. Taylor's email...Please read:

Willy Wonka performance information:

- Please be sure to mark your calendars with dates, times and dress requirements for this upcoming week as it is very important for our play to be successful.  ALL actors and actresses should have their full costume at the school on Tuesday (if there is a problem, you must email Mrs. Taylor this weekend to come up with plan B).

- All tickets will be coming home with students on Tuesday.  Please be sure to put them in a safe place as you will need them to find your seats on the night of the concert.  All seats are assigned with a seat between each family group to support some social distancing.  Masks are not required, although as always, if you are more comfortable wearing a mask in a large group, you are more than welcome to do so.   Students may wear a mask while waiting for their performance time if they would like, however masks are encouraged to be removed during the performance so you can see and hear their beautiful voices! 

- Students MUST BE IN FORMAL UNIFORM (including black or navy socks with no holes in the toes!) on Thursday for school for our Dress rehearsal as well as the concert in the evening.  Please ensure your child has their white collared dress shirt, and green cardigan washed and ready for Thursday!

- All Actors and Actresses should arrive at First Alliance Church between 4:45 - 5:00 and should have already eaten.

- Students will arrive at FAC between 6:00- 6:15  in their FORMAL UNIFORM and find their teachers in the designated areas in the foyer.  Coats and shoes need to remain with the parents (students will be in socks only)

- Doors will open at 6:15 for everyone to find their seats - please ensure that everyone has used the washrooms prior to entering the sanctuary (including the students before you drop them off with their teachers)

- Concert will begin at 6:30 sharp!.  In the event that you arrive late, you will be escorted to the upper balcony in an effort to not disturb the audience or the play.  Please be EARLY!  There is parking on the far south side of the church in the event that the first parking lot seems full - there is LOTS of room for everyone on the south side.
