  Happy weekend! The spring concert was fabulous!  The kids did an amazing job. Your child should have brought home their grammar and math quiz.  If they were picked up early on Thursday they may not have it and will recieve it next week. In social studies we are focusing on settlers to Alberta and why people would have immigrated to Alberta. Keep working on multiplication and division at home to help your child with fluency of the facts. Please return swimming forms. Toys at School- NO! This is a reminder that students are to leave their toys at home, including Pokeman cards and stuffies. Toys are a distraction in the classroom where the focus is on learning.
