One More Day Until Spring Break! But Who's Counting?

 Why was the Easter egg hiding?

As the days begin to wind down with Spring Break around the corner, the members of the Peace Group are busy little beavers.  We continue to work on nonfiction reading and writing during our literacy time.  Our "How To..." final drafts are coming along nicely.  We will be excited to share them with you in the future.

In math, we continue to work on addition and subtraction strategies.  Some of us have been writing some word problems, while others are learning about how doubles are an easy strategy for learning our facts.  We played a game called Snowman Bump. If you and your child want to play there are many options on the web for game boards.  

Science continues to be a favourtite learning experience as we experiment with how to build a boat.  Mrs. Campbell's group worked on how sails help our vessels move, while Bowles Bunch and Kai Kids, looked at propellers

Each household should have received a message from CBE concerning Spring Break and Covid.  Here is a copy for you to read:

Spring Break - Parent letter

March 24, 2021

Dear Parents and Guardians,

During the spring break, Alberta Health Services will continue to work with the CBE to ensure school communities are notified if any students may have been contagious with COVID-19 while in school. A general notice identifying the class and/or courses and dates of exposure will be sent to the school community once it is confirmed by AHS. You do not need to notify the school if your child receives a positive COVID-19 result over the break.

If the positive case is later identified as a variant of concern, Alberta Health Services will follow up to ensure all close contacts are identified and notified.

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in our community and in our schools, we urge you and your family to continue following all current health measures. These efforts will help to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on our schools when we return on April 6.

Dr. Deena Hinshaw, the province’s chief medical officer of health, has also issued spring break guidance to Albertans. This includes a strong recommendation against interprovincial travel, as well as a reminder not to travel within the province, or gather indoors with anyone other than your household cohort. More detailed information and guidance is available in this short spring break video posted on the Alberta government website.

Thank you, and we wish you a safe, relaxing and enjoyable spring break.
