Dear Children and Families,
For the next 2 months Cranston School
is participating in the Calgary Flames Reading Give it a Shot program. On the calendar coming home today Record
and Sign the number of minutes your child reads each day. Check the blog to add on the number of minutes
we read at school to add to your daily total.
When your child reads for 100 minutes, return the calendar page to
school to show Ms Collins and Ms MacMillan.
For every 100 minutes your child reads they will receive a Calgary
Flames Hockey Card. Please email Ms
MacMillan if you have any questions. lgmacmillan@cbe.ab.ca

Today:
We practiced reading to self and reading
to someone. Congratulations to the kids who received a Home Reading Award
today. Bring in your blue home reading
sheets tomorrow if you didn’t have it today.
We read for 30 minutes.
We put on our
thinking caps today and wrote
a reading response about the story 50 Below Zero by Robert Munsch. We drew a picture to help us visualize and
then wrote a summary of what happened in the story. We used the words who, where, when, what
to help us think of the important parts of the story.
In math we used our
blocks to show adding numbers together.
During Social Studies we
participated in Winter Walk day. We
looked at a map of Cranston and then walked around to try to see how people in
our community meet their needs and wants. Thank you so much to Roland's mom for volunteering with us!
Tomorrow’s
Class Leader:
Grayden (remember to bring a stuffy to share)
Declan is going to share his stuffy and we will give him compliments
too.
See you tomorrow!
Ms. MacMillan
