Hello families of 51A and B,
We hope that you are having a wonderful week; the weather is certainly helping. It was an absolutely gorgeous day for our Winter Carnival. The children had a wonderful time and so did the grown ups (Mrs. McArthur is the leg wrestling champ — don't let them tell you any different :)) Our station was Inuit games and our students did a fantastic job of taking turns running it!
The rest of our short week zipped by in a whirl of busy learning. We figured out how to make plasticine float . . . that was very tricky! We saw some beautiful Google slide presentations (thank you Emily and Kyron), and made some gorgeous and super creative arbor day tree art. In addition to our math stations and writing work, the students had a blast doing orienteering with Ms. Quilley.
Tuesday, our first day back after family day, we will be celebrating 100 days at school. While we did discuss having a PJ Day party, we're thinking that we'll leave the PJ's for a later date as we did not have time for a class vote and do not want anyone feeling left out, either way. We will be filling our day with oodles of fun 100 day activities . . . the fun never ends at Cranston these days :) If possible please send 100 items of some type with your child for our art project (macaroni noodles, buttons, paper clips, toothpicks, muffin liners, post it notes, straws, cereal, really anything that you can think of).
We hope that you have a spectacular family day weekend, and look forward to bringing some exciting new learning actives into the class, as we are spending Thursday and Friday at the Calgary City Teacher Conference.
Be safe and have fun,
Ms. Klein and Ms. McArthur
