Field Trip Updates

This month room 13 is heading to Fort Calgary on January 20 (edited after posting - please note the change in date).

On May 5 we will be going to the Calgary Zoo.

Both field trips are full day trips - leaving at 9:10 and returning about 2:30 or so.

The cost for each trip is $17 - for a total of $34.00 for both.

Please arrange for payment using MyCBE/PowerSchool account.
The office will accept debit, cash, credit and cheques but prefers on-line payments.

We are looking for parents to accompany us on both trips.
Please email Ms. Betty if you have a valid police clearance and would like to come with us.

First post for the new decade!

Happy New Year!

Today in Room 13 we wrote about our holidays.
We created New Years Resolutions - these we are still working on - we will post some tomorrow after we are done!

In Math we reviewed our basic Math facts.
Grade 1's explored the commutative property of addition when we discovered that you can reverse the addends in a sum and the answer will be the same.  Grade 1's worked on making 10 in a variety of ways.
Grade 2's reviewed the commutative property rule from last year and found out how many different sums there are that make 18.

Grade 1's each made 11 flashcards altogether.  (Total sums that make 10)
Grade 2's each made 19 flashcards altogether.  (Total sums that make 18)



The rest of the day we worked on our new nametags for our coathooks.  Our old ones were getting very worn and we wanted to add some color!

A reminder that Wednesday is library day.  If you still have books at home, please return them for this date.

Tomorrow is PJ day

Students can wear PJ's tomorrow and bring a small stuffie if they wish.

We will be having a movie in the gym in afternoon.

JINGLING ALL THE WAY!

We are learning JINGLE BELLS in Music as well as in sign language (just the chorus in sign language)!
We are performing it at the caroling assembly at 9:15 on Wednesday next week.

It is going to be very exciting.  Please watch the video  to practice at home.

Music Sharing Class

SHARING CLASS IS COMING!

Students in Room 13 will have a Music Sharing Class on Monday, December 16^th during their music time. Students are welcome to share something music-related like a piano piece, a song or a dance. If your child has something to share, please help them prepare and remember to bring what they need on their performance day. If you have any questions, please e-mail Ms. Nair at canair@cbe.ab.ca.

Library information

Winter Break Book Return

This year we are asking that all student library books be returned to the library by Monday, December 16^th. We are hoping that having all the books come back before the break, will help to assure there are less books that get lost. The library will still be open Mon – Wed next week for students to come and enjoy some reading time, but there will not be any book exchange.

Tomorrow is our library day - please remember to return your books!

Patterns sign and return / Toque day tomorrow

Please look in the red folders for an assessment we completed last week in Math class.
We are continuing to to do work on patterns and shapes this month.

Tomorrow is TOQUE day.

Remember to wear your TOQUE!
