This morning we edited the missing short vowels in our message. We learned a new poem, "Harvest," about our upcoming experience at GrowCalgary! We are excited to help those less fortunate in the community by harvesting food. After learning a fun new song about pizza, we made our pizza subitizing plates in math, focusing on making arrangements that we could easily recognize at a glance. In phys ed we learned a teamwork game using hula hoops called Frogger. In the afternoon the students compared quantities on our weather graph (happily, sunny is now the greatest again!) and practiced writing numbers in the twenties on our calendar. After music and some buddy reading time, we spent the last chunk of our day at our Mindful Monday superstorm. We learned about growth mindset and the "power of yet!"

GrowCalgary: Wednesday
We are looking forward to a really nice forecast Wednesday! Please send your child dressed for the weather with a jacket/layers (it does get windy at this site!), a sun hat, and with sunscreen already applied. Please send plenty of water, an easy-to-eat lunch and all necessary utensils. While GrowCalgary has some extras, if possible please send your child with gardening gloves. We will be digging up some exciting vegetables!
