We had gym outside this afternoon. We practiced with the lacrosse sticks. We practiced overhand throws and then we practiced underhand passes to a buddy.
Today we worked on our blueprints for our 1916 buildings. We will be building them tomorrow. If you are planning to use any supplies from home you need to bring them tomorrow.
Our helper tomorrow is: Carissa
Please remember that tomorrow is Bike to School day!
Here’s what you need to know:
- 1. Students are encouraged to ride their bikes to school. Please make sure to read the City of Calgary bike safety guidelines: http://www.calgary.ca/Transportation/TP/Pages/Cycling/Cycling-Education-and-Safety/Cycling-tips-for-safe-kids.aspx
- 2. Students will be invited to store their bikes in the gym for the day. Please make sure that your child’s bike is labeled with their name and classroom number.
- 3. As this ride will be occurring before school hours and is considered transportation to school there will not be teacher supervision. Parents and caregivers are responsible for the safety of their children.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Should I ride to
school with my child?
A: Yes please! If
your child is under 9 years of age they should be accompanied by an adult (see
city of Calgary bike safety).
Q: We live very
far away, how can we participate?
A: Even if you
live far away we hope that you can find a way to participate. Some ideas are:
- Meeting
at a friend’s house and then bike as a group.
- Parking
near the bike path and riding from there.
Happy Pedaling!
