May 16

This morning the grade 1's who do WeeReads and Calgary Reads made thank you cards for their big buddies. Tomorrow will be our last day of WeeReads. In math the grade 1's did more adding and subtracting using the counting-on strategy. We practiced using the dice and playing with a partner. After lunch we worked on finishing our Nose Hill viewpoint that we started on Friday. We had to keep looking at the checklist on the board to make sure we had met the expectations for the project. In gym we worked on our soccer skills outside. We started with two laps of the field and then we did passing, running fast on a break away, and we practiced playing defense.  In music we learned a new song called Kids Promise to the Earth. We also learned another song called Path to the Moon.

Today an order form for the school photo is coming home. We are also still accepting gently used books for our bookfair. If you have any to donate please bring them tomorrow. Students in grade 5 and 6 have started taking "privilege" orders for Thursday. If you would like to buy any privileges please bring your money tomorrow or on Wednesday. 

Our helper tomorrow is: Jessica
