Hello families and friends,
We have had a wonderful first days of summer, as we work on finishing up our projects.
Tomorrow our class, along with some of the other grade 1/2 and grade 3 classes, will be making some sandwiches to donate to the Mustard Seed. If any of you are available to volunteer to help out with this from 10:00 - 10:30 please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.
Next Tuesday is Movie and Pyjama Day, and next Wednesday is Sports Day and the last day of school. If you are planning on your child not attending the last day or days of school please let myself and the office know.
Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
We have had a very busy past week wrapping up some of the projects that we have been working on. We are continuing to work hard on finishing these up in preparation for the end of the year. We are starting to get our stories that we have been working on onto IRIS, and we also made videos last Thursday about ourselves for our next year's teacher. Go check it out here and see what your child said. The username and password are the same that your child uses at school. We also had a presentation this morning from the Calgary Public Library about their summer reading program. Ask your child about this.
As we are getting closer to the last day of school, we will be starting to send home some of the things that the students have done throughout the year. To help facilitate this it is recommended that you send an extra bag (like a grocery bag) with them to carry the things in so that their backpack does not become overloaded.
Next Tuesday, June 27th, will be Pyjama and Movie Day. Next Wednesday, June 28th, is Sports Day in the morning.
Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
It has been a very busy week! We had a wonderful day at the zoo on Monday, and we learned a lot about the bears that live in Canada. The students have been working hard through the week on writing about things they learned at the zoo, solving math problems, and finishing up the stories that we have been working on. We also had a soccer residency, and got to do some more coding work with Ms. Handelsman. We will be continuing to work hard on finishing up our projects that we have been working on for the last couple weeks of school.
To assist with end of the year organizing and inventory, we are asking that all library and home reading books be returned next Monday, June 12th. If home reading books have been lost, the school is asking for $5 to replace them so that we can ensure there are enough books for all students. Thank you for your assistance in this.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
We have been continuing to work on our animal research with our buddies in Mrs. Sloane's class, and will be looking at finishing these up in the coming week. We have also been working on illustrating and typing up our stories. In math, we have been continuing to work on representing double-digit numbers, and strategies for adding and subtracting double-digit numbers.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the fish release yesterday! It was a beautiful day, and the kids had a lot of fun.

Next week is Literacy Week, with different events each day, and each day themed around a different author. Monday will be Robert Munsch day, and also Crazy Hair Day. Your hair can be as crazy as you like! On Thursday, we will be having a literacy night. Teachers will be presenting games, similar to our math night earlier this year. It will be from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
Have a great weekend,

Hello families and friends,
Today we took a visit to the Learning Commons to switch out our books. After that we worked on using our mental math strategies to solve a bunch of addition and subtraction questions. Then we continued work on our stories, doing the illustrations. We have been starting to work on putting these stories onto the iPads using Pages. Then we finished off our morning with some Read to Self. In the afternoon, we continued working with our buddies on our animal research. Most of the groups are finishing up putting their books together, and we will be putting the finishing touches on them next week. After that we went to gym for some more drum fit. We finished off our day with working on comparing the animals that we have been researching to leopard geckos. In the comments below, post one thing that is different between your animal and a leopard gecko, or one thing that is the same (or similar).
A reminder that tomorrow is our trout release! I hope to see you all there.

Hello families and friends,
We started off our day today with our words of the week. They are "after", "sit", "want", and "wash" for grade ones, and "much", "him", "has", and "more" for grade twos. After that we worked on our stories some more, and practiced our Read to Self and Read to Someone. Then in math we practiced using expanded form. Ask your child about this. In the afternoon we worked with our buddies on finishing up our animal research. Then we continued Drum Fit in gym. After that we went outside to look at the growth that has happened on our trees outside, and measured how long our buds have grown. Ask your child what they learned from this. Then we spent the last part of our day looking at some tree clippings that Mr. Soulliere brought in from his house. What did you notice about the branches and leaves? Post in the comments below.
Thank you to those of you that have returned your field trip forms. Please fill those out and have them returned by next Wednesday, May 31st.
A reminder that this Friday, May 26th is our annual fish release!
