12th Week of School (Nov. 15-19)

 Hello All,

This week at school we;

-began our gift card fundraising drive for Connaught School.

-ended our basketball unit and began volleyball.  The students wrote a basketball unit test, everyone did very well on it.

-worked on mental math  34 + 25  (30 + 20 = 50) (4 +5 = 9) then 50+9= 59 

OR 39+58= (30+50 = 80) (9+8=17) 80+17=97

-talked about being a good friend, forgiving our friends or accepting their apologies and moving on

-had a virtual pre-field trip meeting with Andrew and Sheila from the Calgary Stampede

-worked with Artist in residence Ms.Vanya 

-learned about all four of The Big 4 who each contributed $25000 to the very First Calgary Stampede. The big 4 were A.E Cross, Patrick Burns, George Lane, Archibald McLean. 

-completed a Math lesson on buying groceries on a $25.00 budget. Students used addition and subtraction to try to buy foods for 3 healthy meals.  We all learned that $25.00 doesn't go very far.

"How did it make you fee? What could you do? How do you think the speakers felt? What do you think the message was?" Beyond My Face
