Reminders

• We are going for a coulee walk tomorrow morning. We are planning to leave around 845 am and will be back in time before lunch.

                        Hats On! for Mental Health Day

• On the first Wednesday in May, Albertans are invited to wear a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Participating schools will relax their hat rules and encourage students and teachers to build understanding by wearing hats to school.

  

Highlights from our Day

• The Peace Pod classes are busy working on their writing in their classes based on their work in coulee school. We are planning on having all of the students cycle through each of the the coulee school experiences as biologists, historians and environmentalists from now until the end of the year. As such, students will be creating persuasive writing, writing from a historical perspective and researching animals that live in the coulee

Mrs. Campbell's math group also learned a little bit about open number lines as a strategy to subtract bigger numbers. It also helps to understand the meaning of finding the difference between numbers. Check out this youtube video:
