January 27-30, 2025

 Dear Parents,

What a fast week it has been! Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to:

Language Arts
We explored Arctic animals and the Northern Lights through stories and writing activities, sparking the kids’ creativity and curiosity about this beautiful, cold world.



Math
In math, we focused on learning how to tell time, practicing with both analog and digital clocks. The kids enjoyed hands-on activities that helped them get the hang of reading time!

Cooking
In cooking class, we made colourful toasts inspired by the Northern Lights! The students had fun using their creativity in their artistic designs.



Science
We wrapped up the week with a blubber experiment in science. The kids learned how Arctic animals stay warm by feeling the difference between cold water with and without a layer of "blubber."



It was a week full of fun learning and new experiences, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!

Family Literacy Week

Families across Calgary are invited to join the Calgary Board of Education in celebrating Family Literacy Week from Jan. 26 to Feb. 2, with a focus on environmental learning through the theme “Learn to Be Green, Together.”

​The CBE Literacy & Early Learning Team has prepared a variety of information and activities to help families engage in meaningful learning at home and school. Reading together or doing learning activities at home is crucial to a child’s learning and development.  Students should be supervised when accessing online content in the Family Literacy document.
