Have a wonderful break

Wishing all families a fun & safe winter break. I look forward to seeing all students back at school on Monday, January 6, 2020!

Whether you are enjoying the holidays in Calgary or traveling someplace new- students are asked to keep their eyes open for bridges. Take a photo or make a quick sketch to share with our class when we return to school!

Good evening families,

This morning was a very exciting time for Room 5 as we participated in the Mobile Escape Room Experience's: The Sunken Submarine, Tomb of the Pharaoh and Time Machine. We developed collaboration, leadership, communication and problem solving skills while students worked together to find and solve a variety of puzzles connected to wheels and levers, magnetism, and pulleys.

 



In preparation for a special presentation on Thursday, December 5th students are asked to collect and bring in toilet paper and paper towel rolls. We are also continuing to collect loose parts for our Engineer's Treasure Box. 

Please note that Friday, December 6th is Blue and White School Colours Day.
