Hello families,  This week in math, we wrapped up an exciting project—the Grocery Store Shopping Spree! Students put their math skills to the test by selecting items while staying within their "just right" budget. This activity also tied into our financial literacy curriculum, helping students understand the value of money and how to manage it wisely. Additionally, we connected the project to our wellness curriculum by exploring whole and processed foods, challenging students to include a balance of both in their purchases.

Hello families, Our field trip to the Sam Centre was amazing! We learned about the Stampede's history and it's important role in Calgary's community.  Here are some photos from the trip!

Hello families, This week in math we applied our knowledge of place value and expanded form to learn the Montessori stamp game material. This is a great material to use before moving into standard algorithm (stacking) and supports the understanding of number value using manipulatives. It is also an excellent material to learn regrouping with! 

Hello families, This week we took advantage of the nice weather on Wednesday to get outside for some snow building and painting!
