FIELD TRIP NEWS!!!

We have an exciting field trip planned for June 17 at the Calgary Zoo.  We are doing our own program for the day that will require parent volunteers to work with small groups.  Our focus for this field trip is to further explore endangered animals which fits in nicely with the work we have been doing throughout the year with our inquiry work.  Forms for this field trip will be sent home in a few weeks but we wanted parents to know in advance if they need to make arrangements for volunteering.  We will be needing 4-5 volunteers for each class.  There will be a fee for the zoo for students ($11) but if your child has a zoo pass, they will not have to pay for entry into the zoo.  Please let Miss Jackson or Mrs. Cooper know if your child has a zoo pass that they can use for that day.

Mrs. Cooper's class received Scholastic book orders.  If your child is interested in ordering books, please return the form with a cheque for payment by May 29, 2015.

Yesterday and today, we met with our grade 1/2 buddies to explore bees.  Students were divided into 4 groups and throughout the next week they will rotate to the 4 different classrooms.  Each teacher has prepared an activity to explore different topics about bees.  We are looking at bee life cycles, bee body parts, types of bees, roles of bees, bee habitat, and why bees are important.  It is exciting to work with our buddies while we explore bees.

Forms for the Gregg Le Rock concert that will take place on May 28th at the Mount Royal Theatre were sent home today.  Please complete the forms and return to school by May 20.  There will be no cost for the students thanks to Parent council.

SPRING DANCE IS TONIGHT!  Tickets can be purchased at the door for any families who have not yet purchased tickets.  Reminder that children must have adult with them to attend the dance.

NO SCHOOL tomorrow - PD day and NO SCHOOL on Monday.  Enjoy your May long weekend:)
