Conference Booking has opened for Student Led Conferences. Students are eager to share their learning with you. During this time, your child will lead you through a series of activities to show and explain the work they have been doing this term. The conferences are an opportunity for you, the parent, to display a positive interest in your child's progress, accept your child's evaluation of his/her accomplishments, and provide your child with support and encouragement for his/her work.
Bookings are one hour in length. Your arrival time is flexible, but please allow a minimum of 30 minutes for your child to share his/her work with you. This format will give you much more information about the work done in the classroom. I will be available throughout the conference to answer questions, however, this format is not private; other families will be present at the same time.
The Conference Booking link can be found here.
Please bring a bag to conferences as students will be taking home elements of their Arctic Diorama. We are glad for parents' help as some of these items are fragile.
Our field trip to Telus Spark is coming up on April 9th! We can't wait to explore. At this time, we have two parent volunteers and we need four volunteers. If you are available and would like to come along, please let me or our room parent know as soon as possible.
We have had a fantastic week with more guest readers for the Read-A-Thon. We had a special visit from the Calgary Roughnecks' Tyson Bell, and even Mrs. Broad from Heritage Park who came dressed in period costume.
We continued our Arctic Exploration and made marshmallow igloos. We learned that only a certain type of snow can be used to build a proper igloo. Ask your child what shape the blocks of snow need to be.
Have a great weekend!
-Mrs. Depner
