Hello families and friends,
Our groups have been working hard on our small flying and crawling critter research over the last week. These are coming along very well. The students have been looking at: their creature's body parts; where it fits in the food chain; how it avoids predators; how it is helpful/harmful or both; where it lives; and other interesting or unique facts. In our math groups we have been reviewing some of our skills that we had worked on earlier on in the year.
Over the next month, we will be looking at "growth" for our assembly on Friday, June 24th. Please talk with your child about what this means, and how it looks, to them. Parents will be welcome to come and watch the assembly.
On Wednesday, June 1st, at lunch time the Eco Team will be outside planting in the new garden beds. Families are welcome to come out and join in this!
Next Tuesday, June 7th, is Bike to School Day. This is in an effort to get the students active, have fun, and get some exercise!
This week I will be looking for volunteers to come in and help with putting together the fairy tales that Mr. Soulliere's group have been working on. If you are available to assist with this in the morning please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.
If you have not sent back your child's permission form for soccer, please do that as soon as possible. This will begin next week.
Now that the weather has been getting warmer, Mr. McDougall will be taking as many opportunities as he can to bring the students outside for phys. ed. Please help your child to make sure that they are coming to school wearing footwear that is appropriate for being active and running safely outdoors.
If you would like to order pictures, order forms are due back tomorrow. Scholastic Book Orders for Mr. Soulliere are also due back tomorrow.
Thanks and have a wonderful afternoon!

Hello families and friends,
We have been having a great week of swimming! The students are really enjoying this and have been learning a lot. Tomorrow will be our last day. A reminder that Friday will be a PD day so no school for students, and Monday is a holiday.
Over the next few weeks we will be working on a research project about some local small flying and crawling creatures. Each student has picked a creature, and will be looking for information about where it lives, where it fits in the food chain, its body parts and adaptations, and how it is helpful or harmful. If you would like to help your child with finding some of this information there is a great search engine for kids called KidRex.
Over the next week, our classroom is going to be continuing our Yellow Fish Road Project. As part of our work in this Canada wide initiative we will going out in our community and painting "Yellow Fish" on the storm drains as a reminder to everyone that what we put down the storm drain goes straight out to our river water. In order to do this project we will require approximately 4-5 volunteers on the afternoon of next Wednesday, May 25th to help lead small groups of students in carrying out the painting and distribution of Yellow Fish Road door hangers. If you are available to help us, and/or another class, please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible. We have had a shortage of volunteers for this, so any help would be wonderful. Thank you!
Picture Order forms are due back Tuesday, May 31st.

Hello families and friends,
Yesterday we had a visitor from Teacher's Pet come and work with us on an insect investigation. Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to support us with this! The students had a great time with it and they learned a lot about insects. In the spirit of this activity, our words of the week for this week are "insect", "thorax", "head", "abdomen", and "legs" for all students. This morning, we had a presentation from Yellow Fish Road. Over the next few weeks our classroom is going to be participating in the Yellow Fish Road Project. This non-profit organization seeks to educate students and their communities about the effect of pollution in the storm water drainage system upon the river ecosystems that surround us. As part of our work in this Canada wide initiative we will going out in our community and painting "Yellow Fish" on the storm drains as a reminder to everyone, that what we put down the storm drain goes straight out to our river water. In order to do this project we will require approximately 4 volunteers on the afternoon of May 25 to help lead small groups of students in carrying out the painting and distribution of Yellow Fish Road door hangers. If you are available to help us, please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible. Thank you!
In the afternoon we had a practice evacuation. The students did a great job with this!
The EcoTeam is excited to invite you to our next event to inaugurate our garden beds on Saturday, May 28, 2016 at 1:00 pm. We plan to plant the plants, and water the garden. We invite families and members of the community to join us. We thank The Calgary Foundation Neighbour Grants for this opportunity to see our wish of growing vegetables to serve the community come alive! Please let Ms. Goldberg know if you are able to attend or lend a hand in any way at <amgoldberg@cbe.ab.ca>. Bring a hand shovel and a small watering can if you have one! The event will probably last only 1 hour or so, so please arrive on time!
Next week we will be swimming. Thank you to all of you who volunteered to help us out with this. If you noted that you would be able to volunteer but did not get a form please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca> and I will get one to you as soon as possible.
Have a great evening!
