Orange Shirt Day and Terry Fox Run Friday

Good afternoon!

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is our Terry Fox run(bring a Toonie) and assembly and we are also recognizing Orange Shirt day.  We talked in class today about a First Nations woman named Phyllis who was sent to a Residential school and had her new orange shirt taken away from her on her first day of school. Phyllis's message is that every child matters.  The students did some great writing about how they can make sure that they show others that they matter.

Hello Parents and Guardians

 

Ken Taylor offers noon supervision to all of our Grades 1-4 students.  In order for your child to be eligible for this service you must register using your My CBE account.  https://webapps.cbe.ab.ca/MyAccount/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fMyAccount%2f.   Please be sure to register for the 4 day week service for $255.00. 

 

If you do not register for noon supervision your child will need to be picked up over the noon hour. If your child rides the bus you will also need to register for bus service and pay the bussing fee of $355 for the school year.  When you register your child for the bus service they will  automatically be registered for noon supervision and both fees will apply.

 

Any family needing a waiver is encouraged to apply to the City of Calgary Fair Entry Program to prove income for a CBE waiver, as well as access other benefits of the program. This is optional for families and the CBE will will continue to accept other approved documents as proof of income.  Please visit our CBE website for more details http://www.cbe.ab.ca/registration/fees-and-waivers/Pages/Waivers.aspx 

 

If you have already registered for noon supervision please disregard this email.

Why we love Alberta

Today we read a booked called "Why I Love Alberta" and then worked in small groups to talk about what we each loved about living in this wonderful province.  Ask your child what they like about living here.

 

Library books are due back on Wednesday.  Next week we will be back on track for Monday.

Home reading books can be exchanged on Thursday.

September

Welcome to grade 2!  We have had a busy first week, getting to know each other, setting routines and class expectations. Our class listened to the story "What if you Had Animal Feet" written by Sandra Markle and discussed what kind of feet they would rather have.  Students did some writing about the different animals and the facts they learned.  On Friday, we did a small group activity where they had to work together to create the longest paper chain with only 2 pieces of paper and 1 piece of tape.  It was interesting to watch them work together, sharing ideas, making sure each person in the group had a job.  We discussed the task afterwards and they were all able to share how they worked together.
A great first week!
