Hello Families, 

Yet another week has rolled by and we find ourselves in the middle of April. 

With improving weather, we were able to take our math outside this week, making paper airplanes to measure distance in metres and centimetres using trundle wheels. In literacy we continued with our class book study, 'Front Desk.'  All students are enjoying tis book written from a child's perspective.  

We have been finishing off our Slides presentations and dodecahedrons, to record our understanding of Alberta's regions. I have such a creative class :) In gym we have been learning the skills associated with baseball, and started learning how to play the game. We concluded our Human Sexuality health lessons this week. Such a mature group of students, asking sensible questions to build their understanding of puberty and body changes. In art we created painting using a pointillism technique and started building sculptures out of foil. 

Grade 5 students joined an on-line meeting with Dr Egbert as an introduction to the school. 

Thank you for continuing to support your child in keeping us all safe, by coming into school with masks on and keeping them on as they leave at the end of the day.

On a sad note, we lose our Student Teacher, Ms Peters today. I'm sure you have heard her name mentioned by your child. She has been a wonderful asset to our classroom and we all wish her well in her future endeavours.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Mrs Coldbeck and the students of Room 14.

Learning Leader and Grade 4/5 teacher
