Happy Mother's Day to all our student's moms! We hope you enjoyed the thoughtful craft and poem that you child brought home for you this past weekend :)

This week will be our last chance to practice for the Family Move & Groove, which will take place this Thursday at 6:30pm in our gymnasium. We hope that everyone will be able to make it. Please ensure that your child is accompanied by a parent/guardian for the duration of the event.

Today we had a practice fire drill and our students demonstrated their responsibility with one of our best times yet. We also discussed our school lock-down procedures so that we are safe and well prepared at all times.

Room #4 students have been following various organizations and educational resources through our class Twitter account. Today we checked in on mayor Nenshi and began the first of our personal reflections. We also continued our study of plants in science, exploring that pollination process. Each student has planted their own "magic" bean seed which they will be nurturing and monitoring over the next month.

All grade 3/4 students are continuing our study of the early settlers in Alberta, and we're building our knowledge of the trade industry and relations at that time in history. We also had a chance to share our "new words" that students have been working on in language arts. Students proved to be strong detectives, using clues to guess the true meaning on these new words.


Reminders:
- Math homework (Fractions & Decimals) for Grade 4's (due on Wednesday)
- Tomorrow (May 13th) CBE First Nations guest speaker
- Soccer Club (grade 3/4) - Wednesday, May 14th @ 3:15pm
