Dear Grade 3C Families,
We have been inspired by the Group of Seven artists
To create lovely pastel art work of scenery and animals.
Our 5 senses writing describes our art piece.
In Health, we have discussed the Quality of Life and what that means
to each individual which led well into our time with Ryan Willart our Indigenous guide
who presented us with teachings of his people as well as customs and traditions.
He played the drum and we charged like buffalo! We talked about what
we are thankful for and what makes us happy.
We have started a Wonder box in class that children may use to write
questions that they may have about animals, space, and other places to put in this box,
then we try to find answers for their wonderment.
Did you know that an ostrich can out run a very fast professional sprinter?

Our city planners were in today and we learned so much about what is needed
to build a vibrant Calgary community. They showed us pictures of Calgary long
ago and how it has changed. We discussed the services required in a community
and then designed our own ideal communities in groups.

We will be planning a miniature community project in groups. Please send items for building
such as small boxes, paper towel rolls, little drink bottle lids, felt, small twigs, and anything else
you may have. Ask your child what they feel they need, as they will be creating a group plan before
building. This will begin on Wednesday October 16.
