We are heading to Boggy Creek on January 17th for an extended half day field trip. I hope that the weather cooperates and we get a bit more snow!! I'm not sure that I've ever wished for snow before!
In this field study students explore the wonderful world of snow. They study the winter environment, the properties of snow, and how the land changes during this harsh season. In addition, students see first hand how animals adapt to winter, what different birds, mammals and insects do to survive. By learning how animals make the most of the season, we can make the most of it too.
Here is a list of the items that your child will need!
- to dress in layers (no jeans)
- winter jacket
- ski pants
- wool socks
- winter boots
- toque or balaclava
- neck warmer
- warm pair of mitts
- backpack (no agendas or books please!)
- 1/2 litre of water (pot in ziplock bag if possible)
- hot beverage in thermos (optional: put in ziplock bag if possible)
- healthy snack
-extra large healthy lunch
- No gum, seeds, junk food or pop
- bathroom tissue in a plastic bag
Please note that this will be a very active day so send lots of fruits and vegetables for your child to eat while we are on this trip. They will need lots of energy!!
Next week we will have a guest from the Board Office who will help us prepare for our trip.
Book Orders are due on January 13th.

December 5th - December 9th
This week we spent a lot of time getting ready for the Christmas concert. I hope you enjoyed the show. The kids did a great job.
In the classroom we continued working on the beaver life cycle. The students are making a beaver life cycle poster. Next week we will focus on the beaver homes.
In Language Arts we are working on paragraph writing. The students are all starting to show a lot of growth in their writing. We are also discovering and exploring adjectives. Ask your child what an adjective is! We will continue to learn more about adjectives next week.
The school was filled with many activities this week including candy cane sales, Santa photos, and special lunch. Thank you to our special lunch parent helpers! We all appreciate the time you took to volunteer in our classroom.
Next week we will be having a Winter Wonderland dance on Friday December 16th in the afternoon.
I also wanted to let you know that we have a Outdoor Winter Ecology trip booked for January 17th. The trip will be from 10-3. I will send more details about what we will be doing later. If you want to volunteer for this outdoor adventure please let me know! This trip is always a memorable trip!!
Please send all hamper items by Monday December 12th! Thank you for your generosity!
