Our legends are coming along and lots of great story ideas have been developing in class!  Please take a minute tonight to ask your child to show you (or tell you) how the beginning of their story starts.  You should be able to identify the main character(s), the setting (somewhere in Canada) and the problem of the story.  If not - please ask your child to explain those three things to you.

Important dates this week:
Tomorrow we have a presenter coming from Calgary to introduce the topic and tools for building our electric cars.  This is a super cool project that requires a lot of creative thinking and problem solving.  Keep an eye out for information about ordering these kits a little later this week.
Friday In spelling we are working on list 10 and the assignment that is homework for it is assignment #1 (we have looped back to the top of the assignment list and will be continuing in order)

What a grand finale on the steps of the civic centre in Canmore for Music in May.
A collaboration of LGMS and ERS students along with students from Banff and Exshaw.  If you didn't have a chance to come downtown and join us here it is for all of you to see!

Thank you to everyone that has already returned their field trip permission forms and an extra big thank you to each of the four parents that have also volunteered to join us for our day in the wetlands May 24th!  I'll be in contact nearer to our field trip date to share information and answer any questions.  If there are other parents still interested in joining us, please let me know and I'll look into what we have available for room on our bus because we'd love to have you.

Canadian Pacific Railway musical presentation this morning.
These talented presenters gave us great information about the forming of the national railroad along with music and humour!  Here are a few pictures of the event.
