June 1, 2015

It's hard to believe that we are already on our last month of school for this year.  June is a bust month and we have many fun activities and projects on the go.  As hard as it can be in June, we still want our students reading at home every night and doing Mathletics to keep practicing those skills.  A lot can be still learned in the last month of school.

Mrs. Cooper's math class worked on a math assessment including a self-assesment to measure their growth and understanding of multiplication and division.  Miss Jackson's math class started working on fractions today.

We have the computers booked for an hour everyday this week for the students to work on and finish their inquiry projects by Friday.  Check with your child to see what they have done so far and what they still need to do to complete their project.

In the afternoon, we met with our grade 1/2 buddies to continue with our bee work.

Student's pictures went home today in their folder.  Order forms and explanation of the process are in the envelope.  These need to be completed by June 9, 2015

We also sent home permission forms for the zoo field trip to be completed and returned by June 10.  There will be a cost of $11 for this field trip so please enclose the money with the form.  For those students that informed us that they have a zoo pass, they are not required to pay the $11 as long as they are able to bring the pass for June 17.

All library books need to be returned by Friday, June 5.

Information – bike to school day

By: Praveen

Dear students of Rm 79 and 80,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is June 2 so that means it is BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY!

Everybody is encouraged to ride his or her bikes, scooters, skateboards etc. to school. If you don’t have something with wheels you can also walk or jog or run! This event was started by Kyle Stewart, a teacher within the CBE at Simon Fraser School, to promote physical activity in our Calgary communities. It would also reduce your carbon footprint for the day, which could help the earth and the problem of global warming.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on their bikes tomorrow!

Praveen
