The end is near -

The end is near and what a strange end it is.

Our learning continues until Friday and there are several activities posted in our classroom.  Thank you for supporting your little learners continual learning at home.

The Calgary Public Library is hosting their annual summer reading challenge and I encourage all of you to sign up.  It is a free activity that has a virtual sign up at their website.  It is an easy way to stay engaged with reading this summer.  Check them out!

We have posted the staff farewell on our classroom wall that would have taken place Friday morning if we were at school.  

Report cards can be accessed through your CBE account - there will not be printed copies available.

Friday from 12 - 1 teachers will be hosting a 'walk-by' parade on Bermuda Drive.  We will be up on the hill to maintain social distancing and then we have the opportunity to wrap up this school year.  I hope to see you all there.

As always, if you have questions or concerns drop me an email or call Corey at the school and she will get in touch with me.  I hope you all have a fun-filled summer.

Year End Bits and Pieces

It is a very odd thing to be packing up my classroom without the help of little hands but I have put everyone's belongings from their desk into bags and placed them in the gym.  You can book a time through your CBE account to drop by the school and pick those up.  There are still a few shoes and such waiting there too.

Staff are working on an opportunity to say farewell with students.  It will come in several formats so stay tuned.

Next week we will be concentrating on Indigenous Peoples Day with our classroom work.  In room 11 we have already done some work around the aboriginal theme through the sharing of picture books and activities that had little learners exploring themselves, their family, their community and the land.  We continue to strive for activities that will engage learners and move forward their thinking as we quickly approach the summer break.

As always if you have questions or concerns I am available by phone or email.
