TWAS June 15th

Hello All,

Because of all the emails you've had this week, I will try to keep this very short and stick to the artist of the week, important dates/times for next week and pictures of the children's set.  It was a great week! 

June 19th:  CBE filming the Acknowledgment of the Land, 8:30 on the ridge


“We would like to acknowledge the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Nations, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Metis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.”

June 21st:  Our play for the National Indigenous Day assembly 10:00am.  If possible, purple or blue tops with green or brown pants.

June 22nd:  Second round of the talent show.

 Artist of the Week

For the last days of the school year, we will be reflecting on all of the artists that we have learned about this year. Additionally, we will be touching on a handful of other artists that we did not have time to cover this year, and we will be connecting them to our prior learning.
Thank you for all of your support in the Artist of the Week program this year. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and finds a way to incorporate our artists into their holiday tunes! Ms. Thomas

Have a wonderful weekend,

Kim

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all off to a wonderful weekend start! It was lovely to meet with so many families over the last week during our community walk, picnic and at 'meet the teacher.' As the children settle into their routines we are finding our days whizzing by and the children's morning endurance seems to be strengthening daily. We will start rotating through math stations next week so we spent quite a bit of time working with math problems, as they tend to be the math station that requires the most "mastery" (mastery was our circle of courage focus this week; please ask your little one to explain his/her understanding of this tricky concept). The children are learning to be patient with themselves as they learn the skill of breaking down math problems and using their tools to work with the information they are given. I was impressed with their ability to recall the many strategies that they learned last year, and the ways that they applied these

TWAS April 27

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the amazing weather!! I'm sorry to report that with clubs, assembly and finishing up tasks we completely ran out of time for quotes.  The children all did write and bring home their TWAS letters. The weather was so beautiful that we were able to enjoy much of our math outside this week.  We rotated through stations, addition and subtraction regrouping with chalk on the compound; graphing the compound geometric shapes, chalk drawings of geometric shapes and building structures with 3D objects.  The children also independently completed the following 2 math problems (all grade 2's completed the same problems and 73 did very well): Our class had 27 pencils and then Mr. Scout gave us 18 more.  How many pencils do we have now? I have 24 marbles. Some are blue, some are red, some are white. There are two more blue marbles than white. What combinations of marbles could I have?   Science:

Hello 73 families, I hope that everyone is doing well and you all are starting to enjoy a bit more sun as our days slowly begin to get a little longer :) It's been a great week here at Cranston.  We had an unexpected practice lockdown yesterday and all of the children did extremely well. Please have a look in your child's blue folder as the field trip permission slips went home with them today.  We will be needing a few volunteers so if you are able, please let me know and I will send those forms home as well. We've had a number of guests join us.  Mr. Logan Sonnenberg is a Bachelor of Education student from the Mount Royal University who is joining us Tuesday mornings for his first year practicum. The children loved having him with us this week, and are looking forward to working with him over the next 10 weeks.  As a spelling bonus, Ms. Patton is joining us for two twenty minute periods each week for word work. We learned and played some fun word wall games: mind
