Dear Parents/Guardians,

On Monday, March 2, O.S. Geiger will be hosting Le Bûcheron (Lumberjack). He will be teaching our students about Canadian traditions and cultural diversity through stories, music, spoons and dance. Our Grade 4 – 6 students will learn some traditional French-Canadian dances and spoons. These students will then present these dances and music during a school-wide presentation at 11:00 a.m.

In the afternoon, students will learn about the maple syrup making process and its’ historical roots with Indigenous peoples who then shared this skill with the early settlers. Students will also make a maple syrup treat called maple taffy. This is heated maple syrup poured on crushed ice and then students will roll their popsicle stick on the maple syrup creating a maple taffy treat!

If you have any questions or concerns about these events or if your child has food allergies to maple syrup, please contact either Ms. Peltier, Mrs. Murphy or Mrs. Perszon at 403 777 6950.

Also our student have been working really hard on their animal classes slide show presentation. I am sure that they would love to show you all that they have learned about their animals.

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone that we are having our first Google Meet tomorrow at 11 am. If you have not been able to log onto Google Classroom please contact me and I will try to help out however I can. To get onto Google Classroom log onto your student email in the same way that you would get onto Google Docs at school. I should have sent you a class invite. Remember this week we are using Raz Kids for Reading and Prodigy for Math and it would be wonderful if you were practicing your multiplication facts. Grade 3's need to know up to 5 x 5 and the grade 4's need to know up to 7 x 7. We will be using these skills next week when we begin using Google Classroom. Have a great day.

April 14 - 17th Math

Hello, This week for Math we will be using Prodigy prodigygame . Prodigy is a Maths game where students answer math questions in order to cast spells and collect points. I have assigned questions related to Math concepts that we have covered in class. Once those questions have been answered the program chooses appropriate additional questions based on the students ability level. It is important not to give too much support when students are answering the questions otherwise the program will continue to give out even more challenging questions. How to help If you notice that they are having trouble with a questions, let them answer but then show them on a piece of paper either what the question is asking or how you might solve the problem. Also near the top of the question there is a prompt button that will give a clue and some math tools such as pens and 100 charts that can also support them. To prepare for next week please practice Multiplication facts with your c
