March 20 - Happy Spring!

Good afternoon!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Today is the first day of Spring. Did you hear any birds chirping?

It is a short week of learning and today has flown by so quickly! Students were focused today on learning about community and citizenship. Ask your son or daughter what it means to be a citizen, and what the word "diverse" or "diversity" mean.

Tomorrow we have a guest visitor from the Calgary Police Service who will be speaking to all Grade 1 students; he will present to Room 5 in the morning.

Ms. Binks will be hosting a club in April called Math Potatoes. It is for Grade 1 and 2 students who want to think about, learn and do math differently through games. Capacity is limited which means if there are many students interested, Ms. Binks will have to randomly select names. This club will run during the entire lunch hour (students will eat with Ms. Binks) so if you do not stay for lunch, you are more than welcome to bring one with you. The dates are: April 4, 7, 11, 18, 25, 28. I have a limited number of forms so please either email me nmcokar@cbe.ab.ca or send a note with your son or daughter.

Did you sign up for conferences? If you are available during the day, please consider booking for Thursday so those who do not have a flexible schedule are able to meet me Wednesday. Please schedule a time as soon as possible using the "My CBE Account" link found here:
