Take a look at our field trip to the Waste Management site in Canmore today.  Great weather, great information (and some not-so great smells:)

Thank you to our fabulous parent volunteers that joined us too for this informative outing.   * If you see any photos that you would like to keep of your child, please sign in to their Google Classroom for the link to the picture folder.

We will be Mold Farming for science this week.  Please check with your child tonight about what small item they chose to collect and bring for school Tuesday.  * A small (finger sized/ couple of tablespoons worth amount) is needed in a zipped baggie.  I will have ziploc bags at school in case you don't have them)

* Please check in with your child that they have all of their work completed.  We once again had a number of students without their math weekly assignment completed last week.  When students do not have their work caught up they will be missing out on other classroom events or activities until they have all of their work done.  

Thank you for your help supporting your child on this at home!
