In Math today students worked to answer questions related to representing time in different ways. For example we can say 12:30 or half past 12. They also worked to match analog clocks with digital clocks.
This week we will be continuing our work with light and shadow, investigating how light travels.
In Social Studies we will continue to look at Alberta's past as we learn about Alberta First Nation communities. This will lead into working with a Museokit next week.
Our Drumheller trip
I have sent an email to all volunteers that have confirmed with me that they will be coming with us on our Drumheller trip. If you do not receive an email from me and are able to come with us on our trip and have completed your volunteer clearance please send me an email.
January 27 is Family Literacy Day across Canada!
We hope you'll take part in literacy-building activities with the children in your life!
Just 15 minutes a day can help develop long-lasting literacy skills in children and help parents and caregivers build positive, strong bonds with their children.
Here are some fun ways your family can mark Family Literacy Day

Here are some fun ways your family can mark Family Literacy Day
- "How was your day today?" Have your child write and share notes (sticky notes are always a big hit) or keep a journal about their day . . . and you do the same.
- Have a game night Gather and play your family's favourite board games. Take turns reading the instructions, game cards or keeping score.
- Lights out, talk on! After bedtime stories with your child, turn off the lights and stay and chat.
- Review your home library! Check through your family's books. Choose some to reread. If you're ready to part with any, please donate them to Calgary Reads. They will help supply our yearly fundraising event, the CBC Calgary / Calgary Reads Big Book Sale or our Calgary Reads Book Bank that gets books into the hands of Calgary children who have few or none of their own. Be in touch.
