2017 Begins!

Happy New Year and welcome back.  We had a very short week to welcome us back.  With only three days of school, it was a bit of a whirlwind.  Still, we managed a little more exploration into the science of magnets, we did a little bit of catching up with classmates about our holidays, wrote about them, and then on Friday everyone was able to get a little bit of experience trying snowshoes in the fresh snow on school grounds.  Bam! Week one of 2017 was over.

As we start our second week a few reminders may be in order.  Please remember to send library books and home reading books to school on Tuesday.  We will be having a spelling test on Friday.  This week's words are from the "ain" word family.  They are: rain, drain, chain, pain, and train.  Lastly, with Calgary weather being unpredictable, please make sure that each day students are prepared to go outside.  If we have another chance to try snowshoeing, or in case the weather warms up enough for us to go outside (> -20 C) we always need to be prepared.  :)
