Hello and I hope all of you are having an amazing long weekend right now!
A very big thank you to all the parent volunteers who were able to come to back to back field trips last week. The students appreciated the opportunities to go and explore the Calgary Zoo on Tuesday and complete their animal scavenger hunts while stopping along the way to sketch a few of the many animals they saw during the day. On Wednesday, the students headed into the downtown area and we studied the many different types of bridges that span the Bow River as well as the many skyscrapers that dot the Calgary downtown landscape. The students were able to sketch the various bridges and find out what types of bridges were and end our day at the Peace Bridge before boarding our bus to return to school.
During our brief time in the classroom this week, we were working on perimeter of shapes in math, piecing together a complete climbing story and looking at how we could create our "own" perfect country that people would want to live in based on meeting the needs of the citizens and keeping a high quality of life.
Wishing you the best for the rest of your weekend and see all of you next week!
