Hello 73 Families, I hope all of you are enjoying the week. It has truly been beautiful here for so many reasons! Below are a couple of messages from Ms. Thomas and one about our upcoming field trip (this is the last volunteer call — I promise!!!) The rest, I will leave to the children: Field Trip: Telus Spark, June 6th. The cost will be $17.00. Form will be going home Monday. Artist of the Week: The Tragically Hip After much anticipation, we finally have a full week with which we can explore this great Canadian band. The Tragically Hip have left a major impact on the Canadian music scene with their devoted fan base and ability to incorporate Canadian themes in their music. Talent Show: Hello!

Next, students from our class worked with Ms. Watson to create four movies that demonstrated some stressful situations we may be faced with. We learned a POP strategy to help us through stressful times such as these. POP is an acronym for "Problem, Options, Plan." I have attached the videos; it may be a fun challenge to see if your ch...
Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying this amazing November weather! It certainly made for some nice recesses. As the children may of shared with you, I was absent this morning but when I returned for the afternoon PD, I was so pleased to walk into our classroom and find a huge note from the guest teacher saying how enjoyable her morning was and that the children made her feel so very welcome. Way to go 73; you really are a beautiful group of kind and thoughtful people :) I also head that they enjoyed a fantastic live band performance, and that clubs went very well. I'll let them elaborate on that. We have been doing a lot of work with the writing process. Learning to brainstorm, organize and transition through ideas and engage with audience. Our goal over the last two weeks has been to spend Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday organizing and planning for a piece of writing, then put it all together into an organized reflection on Thursdays....
