 Happy Almost Spring!

What a beautiful week we have had! Students explored equivalent fractions this week in math, took a deeper dive into primary and secondary data and saw first-hand some excellent examples at our Fort Calgary trip Tuesday. In writing, students continued procedural writing ('how to' writing) and we did some French family learning in class this week! Take a look at some of our amazing plant pots students made in preparation for our plant unit... they will soon house some lovely herbs, as well as some other great photos! We also welcomed back Ms. Knox today as she begins the final portions of her first year in teaching school! She will be taking over some teaching with the students until the end of April, Sarah will also be present for Parent Conferences on Thursday, March 21st. If you would not like her in attendance at your students conference please shoot me a quick email and we will make sure that happens for you!

We have 4 more school days until Spring Break!

Students gave their best smiles on Tuesday for picture day, I cant wait to send the prints home when we receive them!
