April 10th, 2017

Hello families and friends,

Today we started off our day with some Daily 5 work; the students are able to choose from Read to Self, Read to Someone, Free Writing, and Word Games, while I work in small groups with students.  We did two rounds of this.  This is a great way for the students to show off their independent working skills and that they can be responsible for their learning.  After that we worked in our small groups on our look at Alberta.  We have been learning about the natural resources and geography.  Ask your child what they have learned so far.  In the afternoon we continued our buddy research with Mrs. Sloane's class.  Some of the groups are finishing up their research and are ready to move on to putting it into writing.  We also went outside to look at the trees.  Some of the buds are starting to open up!  Then we did some bark rubbing with coloured pencils and crayons.  We finished off our day with our dance residency and doing our calendar.

Thank you to everyone who returned the permission form for our Boats and Buoyancy in-school field trip.  Please make sure that these are all returned by Friday, April 21st.

Anyone that is available to volunteer on the afternoon of May 10th please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.  We will also be going on a field trip to the zoo on June 5th.  It will be a whole day trip; if you will be available to volunteer for this trip please email me and let me know.

Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
