A Note From Mrs. Waters
On Wednesday, nursing students from the University of Calgary came and taught the students about the importance of washing their hand properly. There is a packet in your child backpack from them.
Our field trip to the Museum of Islamic Art is on Monday, March 16. It will be an integrated experience in Math, Art and Technology. The students will be looking for geometrical shapes, experiencing and analyzing artwork, and using technology to record and present what they learn.
Their will be no homework next week since we are going on a field trip and it is a short week. Please be sure though that your child is reading every day after school.
