Arbor Day Celebration

Team 72 is very excited to be one of the classes presenting at the Arbor Day Celebration on May 4^th.  Our school will be the recipient of a Siberian Larch Tree from the City of Calgary in honour of Arbor Day and it will be planted on our grounds during a special ceremony in the afternoon.  Unfortunately due to fire regulations we will not be allowed to have our families join us at the 1 pm assembly.  We will be presenting our assembly for you at 6:05 pm in the evening.  After our presentation you will be welcomed to our room to see more of our learning about trees, and then you are free to walk around the school to see what the other students have learned too.

Today:

We read to self for 10 minutes today, and played mathletics for 10 minutes. 

During music we practiced our Arbor Day songs with our Team 75 Buddies today. We are starting to sound like a really great choir!

We worked together to put together a Team 72 imovie to share our learning about Trees Across Canada.  Ms MacMillan will put the final touches on it and it will be ready to share on Arbor Day.

We created special Arbor Day Medals to symbolize the special message we are sharing next Thursday.  We made them using tree cookies.  Ask me what a tree cookie is.

Ms Collins will be with the students Monday and Tuesday. See you Wednesday!
