Wednesday January 29

Today was a busy day at school. The AM learners did a guided drawing of a bear as we continue to investigate where animals live in the winter.  The PM learners did a guided drawing of a bullfrog.  We learned that bullfrogs and bears hibernate in the winter. We went to the gym and played with the hoops and balls too and then a game of builders and bulldozers!

We spent some time exploring puzzles and working cooperatively to complete the puzzle.

Please check your child's colored folder for a blue permission form for the "Who Do You Tell?" presentations that kindergarten will participate in next week. Please complete the form and return it to school ASAP with your child.

Dance tickets will be on sale tomorrow for Kindergarten.

Reminder, there is no school on Friday as it is a PD Day.

Warm Feet and Heads

This week, the Eric Harvie Peace Ambassadors are collecting warm, new or gently used, adult sized socks and hats for Calgary’s homeless.  After our recent cold spell, supplies are low at our city’s shelters and we want to help to fill them back up before the next cold snap hits.  There are collection bins and a display in the hub where students can drop off donations during ignite time each day. 

Please ensure:

*socks are adult sizes
*gently used socks and hats are washed and do not have any holes
*socks are rolled into pairs
*they are high enough to cover cold ankles

Peace Ambassadors will be at our upcoming Sock Hop on Thursday evening to take donations as well!  If you would prefer to donate to our coin collection, Mrs. Zwack will happily purchase socks and hats.

Thank you for supporting our Warm Feet and Heads project!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Kindergarten was very fun today.  All of our arrival centers were about Halloween. We printed halloween words, played bingo, roll and count game with rings, crafts etc. We loved seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes!  We drew pictures of ourselves in our Halloween costumes in our journals.  Some of us drew pictures of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and trick or treating with our families.  We used Smarties to sort by color and graph the number of Smarties in the box.  Ask your child what color they had most in their box.  After students graphed their Smarties, they got to eat them.  This was the highlight of their day! All students had gym today with Mr. Der . What game did your child play today? Ask them to share. Students came home with overflowing colored folders.  Please empty the folders out and return them on Monday.  Every child has more book circles in their folders.  Thank you for continuing to read with your child and send the circles back.  We are
