  June 17-21 A few reminders: All Home Literacy/Decodable Books - Please have your child return these.  We will not be sending any more home for this school year.   Extra Bag - We want to start sending home items throughout this week - Reusable grocery/shopping bags work great, as they are easier to pack than our regular backpacks  We will also be sending home many items this final week, that may still be helpful to support your child with reviewing and maintaining their skills in reading, writing and math over the summer!   As we head into the final days together, we know this can be a time of mixed emotions for everyone.  Having conversations about how your child is feeling helps them to know they are supported with these changes.  Feel free to reach out as well, if your child is needing some extra support in these final days.     As we are heading into the final days of our school year, we have had some great opportunit...

  We had another busy week of learning in our Grade 1 class.   Science - Learning from the Land at Fish Creek Park Learning Intentions: I can share examples of native plants and animals of Alberta I can share an understanding of how an environment meets the basic needs of plants and animals We had the most beautiful morning on Tuesday, to walk and spend time in Fish Creek Park.  The signs of spring were all around us, and we had many rich conversations about plants and animals.  We spent time looking for specific plants that grow in Fish Creek and really noticed the Buffalo Bean that is growing and blooming.  We learned about this important plant and how it was used by indigenous people for healing purposes.  We were shocked to learn that it was poisonous and you need to know how to use it properly for its healing properties.  We also explored closer to the water and looked for different things in nature.  We loved finding ants and some of us...
