Mathematicians and Writers hard at work

Dear Children and Families,

Good Friends

Friends are people who are kind and enjoy playing together.  Friends share things, but a good friend would never ask you to give them something, or do something for you so they will play with you.  If someone has asked you to give them something or else they won’t play with you find another person to play with and tell a trusted adult.

We read to self and read to someone today.  Good readers reread and think about what the writers message is.  Ask me about the poster we read and tried to understand today.

During math we talked about strategies we like to use to help us subtract.  Ask me how I did on the adding and subtracting challenge.

Drumfit with Mrs Quilley and Mrs McBride is Awesome!

During social studies we talked about what people in the Atlantic and Prairie communities use the land for.  We learned the words farming, fishing and logging.

Reminder Blog for Telus Spark Field Trip Tomorrow!

Dear Children and Families,

This is a reminder blog post for tomorrow’s field trip to Telus Spark. J  The bus leaves Cranston School at 8:45 and we will return approximately at 2:45.  Students are encouraged by the Telus Spark programmers to leave their backpacks at school.  They are only required to bring lunch bags, a water bottle and a jacket.  We will be inside the entire day so there is no need to bring sunscreen or hats etc.  Please make sure your child is wearing comfortable walking shoes tomorrow.

Thank you! I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Ms. Collins
