Report Cards

 

Report Cards

Report cards will be available online on June 28th. Please remember that if your child's mark has remained the same, that does not mean they have not shown progress. The same mark means they have kept up with the increasing demands of grade 1 or 2. If your child has a lower or higher mark in science or social studies, it is likely due to the different topics we have covered. They might have been more interested or understood certain science topics more or less than others. One of the math marks last semester was based on patterns and statistics and the same outcome this time around is more connected to shape and space which may also impact their mark. Please carefully read comments.

I am so proud of the progress students have shown this year and feel very confident that they are ready for grade 2 and 3! 

June Festivities!

 

Check out all of the amazing and fun things Room 12 has engaged in throughout the last weeks of school! Below you will see pictures from our HAWCS visit, our Fish Creek Field Trip, National Indigenous Peoples Day (whole school sit spot), Sports Day, Rugby Residency & our class pet Flash!

Tai Chi Residency 

Thank you to Sifu Greenhall for leading the Grade 1/2 students in learning about the art of Tai Chi. We learned so much, had tons of fun, and realized how challenging this sport really is! 

Language Arts: Readers Theater

Students have been exploring reading fluency by practicing appropriate pace, volume, expression, and intonation. Throughout the last few weeks, students have practiced their script independently and in their groups to master their character/part. Ask your child about their character & their favourite part about Readers Theater! 

Science: Honey Merchants 

As a hook to our inquiry of the needs of animals, students enjoyed a presentation from Honey Merchants. We learned about their needs (habitat, food, shelter), their life cycle, how they produce honey, their physical adaptations, and their anatomy. Miss. Katie even brought LIVE BEES for us to observe - it was amazing! Students will be applying this learned knowledge and vocabulary to their personal research projects. Ask your child what animal/species they've chosen to research! 

Rugby

 Lake Bonavista School is participating in rugby from June 5th until June 8th in our school field. This sport involves foundational movement skills such as jumping, running, throwing, and catching. The goal of this experience is to learn the skills of rugby and will not involve any bodily contact.      

Rugby Alberta has generously agreed to provide this residency free of charge. 

Consent forms will be sent home with your child soon.  Please sign and return the forms so your child is able to participate in this fun LBS event! Forms are DUE FRIDAY JUNE 2, 2023. 

 

Thank you, Active Living  

Fish Creek Volunteers

 

Fish Creek Field Trip

On Tuesday, June 13th we will be heading to Fish Creek Park near Bow Valley Ranche for a field trip with Ms. Green's class. We will be gone for the most of the school day. We are looking for at least 5 volunteers to join us for this experience. Your responsibilities include supporting students during whole-group activities in the morning, supervising lunch, and leading small-group park exploration in the afternoon. If you have your CBE police clearance and are interested in volunteering on this day, please send me an email. I will do my best to take as many volunteers as I can! Thanks in advance for your support :)
