Important Dates and Information:

Coulee School:

We have Coulee School from June 3rd to June 6th. We are looking for one volunteer from each class (Glacier and Sunrise) to help out. We will be sending out a School messenger message with the schedule this week. Please email/contact Mrs. Pelton (Sunrise Group) or Ms. Disher (Glacier Group) if you can join us. 

Check the weekly Connect newsletter for up to date information and dates, including our celebration of learning on June 14th.

Return blue folders that went home. We will be sending home a math sample next.

Our Week:

For math, ask your child what they have been learning about in measurement. The grade 1 students have been comparing the height and width of different objects and have been talking about what the word distance means.

In literacy, both classes have been focusing on what a noun, verb and an adjective are and practicing writing sentences with them. Knowing this helps the students understand how to write a good and interesting sentence. 

Mrs. Pelton’s class is getting to the end of The Wild Robot Escapes and Ms. Disher’s class is continuing to read The Wild Robot Protects. The students make many good personal connections to the stories and love to share their predictions as to what they think will happen next.

In Social Studies, we have started learning about different communities in Canada. Sunrise has started talking about Saskatoon and the prairies and Glacier has been looking at Meteghan in eastern Canada. The students have enjoyed looking at the map and looking up the weather in those parts and comparing the temperatures to Calgary. Ask your child what is a landform and what kind of landforms there are in Saskatoon and Meteghan. 

Have a wonderful weekend! We hope your families can get outside and enjoy Spring!
