If you have not already done so, I hope you are able to sign up for one of our Parent/Teacher Conference times this Thursday evening or Friday morning. Students are preparing some great activities to show you their learning, and there are prizes being drawn throughout the night for families who attend to win books!
Appointments are 15 minutes long, and can be booked through the office, or with your CBE online account. If your child is working on an IPP, please let the office know so they can book a double time slot.

Thank you to Paul Kelba, the Sustainability Education Coordinator at Calgary Board of Education for providing us with the opportunity to experience the winter activity of snowshoeing.
Physical education is enhanced through opportunities to participate in activities such an snowshoeing, which builds on our gross motor development and over confidence. We made observations while we were on our snowshoe walks that helped us practice skills that connect us to the world around us. We had so much fun snowshoeing last week. Our little legs are exhausted from trudging through the deep snow, but it was a fantastic experience. "I think a beaver knocked this tree over... I see the marks!" Thank you to our parent volunteers who made our field study at Inglewood possible. We were so fortunate to have such beautiful weather for our field study!
We learned about coyotes, bumble bees, deer and ducks. We learned where they live, what they eat and some interesting facts about these creatures. We also made puppets and saw some animal artifacts. We went on a nature walk through the forest and along the river. We saw animal tracks, ducks and geese flying in the air as well as animal scat. Here are some questions you can ask your child: Ask your child what animal evidence they saw. Ask your child how animals adapt for the winter. Ask your child what animal scat is. Ask your child what the difference between a zoo and a sanctuary is. |
