Thank you to everyone who attended student led conferences.The students had a wonderful time sharing their learning with you and it was a pleasure speaking with you about your child's learning.
In writing this week students have been learning about how to write a topic sentence and create a paragraph using the senses writing they completed about their Flanders Field paintings.
This week in inquiry we where exploring how density affects liquids and conducted an experiment to see what would happen to liquids with more density compared to other liquids. Ask me to describe what we did in the experiment and the conclusion I discovered about liquids and their density.
1) Glenbow Museum volunteers: We are still in need of 3 more volunteers. If you are able to volunteer and have your clearance please let me know. As a parent volunteer, the CBE requires a police clearance; if you do not have this document, we regret that you will not be able to come at this time. If you would like to volunteer in the future, please visit the office with your photo identification and ask for a volunteer clearance form.
2) Please THINK TWICE before going ON THE ICE: Parents, we have had reports of youth in our community venturing out onto the partially frozen pond. This is, of course, a safety concern as the pond does not typically freeze consistently enough to safely allow people to access the ice.
We are asking that you please have a discussion with your children about Ice Safety and how to determine when an icy surface is a safe place to play. An excellent resource (with notes and videos) for this discussion can be found through the Canadian Red Cross website at:
Thank you for keeping our students safe as they explore the community this winter,

4) Stephen’s Backpack: Dream Out Loud
Royal Oak Students are continuing to support Stephen’s Backpacks Society for Children in Need this holiday season.Stephen’s Backpacks Society for Children in Need is an organization that was started in Airdrie by a young boy who thought it wasn’t fair that he received so much for Christmas when other children didn’t even have a bed to sleep in.
