This is the last week of school and we are still busy, busy, busy!

Thank you very much to all the parents who sent in food for our potluck lunch today.  The kids enjoyed a delicious lunch and we have plenty of leftovers for morning snack tomorrow.

We also enjoyed the Pioneer presentations today and look forward to the last one tomorrow.  Madison, Amin and Julia will be teaching us all about Pioneer Food and the whole class will get to make some bannock bread and fresh butter. 

A reminder to all students to wear their houseleague colours for tomorrow's houseleague assembly.  Students are also reminded to bring in a plastic bag to take home all their books and belongings tomorrow.

Enjoy the beautiful day!

Pioneer Presentations, Potluck Change and Field Trip Pictures

Dear Parents:

I have just received information that some of our 3A students who will be attending Roseland and Southwood in September, will be visiting their new schools this Friday.  I apologize for the inconvenience, but this will affect the day that we have planned for Friday.  We will postpone our Pioneer presentations and potluck lunch until MONDAY, June 25th.   Please send in a dish or drink that your child can share with the class for lunch on Monday. 

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Mrs. Allison

This is a busy time for our class and the days will start to fly by!  Here are a few things to take note of:

Track and Field:  Congratulations to all the students who took home ribbons from our school track and field meet.  Yesterday, Katie and Andrew represented our class at the Regional Track and Field meet.  Both students enjoyed the day and gained some experience for next year.  Andrew will be moving on with the relay team to compete at the District meet this Friday.  Good luck Andrew!  We send you a big Shazam!

The Granny Awards - Many of students are involved in the school play, "The Granny Awards."  Our budding actors and actresses have been practising for months and look forward to performing tomorrow.  There is an afternoon performance for the whole school at 1:05 p.m. and an evening performance at 6:30 p.m. I can't wait to see the show!  Break a leg kids!

Pioneers Unit - Our final Social Studies unit of the year is Pioneer Times.  A reminder to parents that our class will be travelling to Heritage Village and Transportation Museum on Tuesday, June 19.  The bus will be leaving school at 8:45 a.m. and returning at 2:30 p.m.  We will be spending quite a bit of time outside.  Please ensure that the children are dressed appropriately with hats and sunscreen if it is a hot day.  Students should bring a lunch (including a water bottle).  There is a little gift shop where students may purchase souvenirs.

Students will also be working in small groups to research one aspect of pioneer life.  Students will be presenting their findings during the last week of school and will have a choice of creating a model, poster board, diorama, painting, diagram etc.  In the next few days, I will be conferencing with each group to help them choose the best method of presenting their information.  We are very excited about our new research project and look forward to learning more about the Early Settlers.

PLEASE CHECK WEDNESDAY'S POST FOR RUBRIC AND RESEARCH SITES.
