Joy Pod
We discussed about the art style of Todd Parr (how colours are used and how drawings are made) and we drew a pig family in the Todd Parr style. We continued to work on different aspects of our joy themed Peace Assembly. Ask me what we continued to work on. We successfully completed our Practice Lockdown. This gave us an opportunity to talk about why it is important to practice. 

Joy Pod is in need of some school-appropriate liquids (may include but not limited to household chemicals, sauce, juice, pop, or milk). It would be okay if the containers have been opened and part of content has been used/poured out. We plan to use collected liquids in inquiry lessons. Please ensure that liquids that you send are in their original containers to ensure that we can handle these in a safe manner. Thank you!


In support of our veterans, we are collecting non-perishable food items for the Veterans’ Food Bank.  We welcome donations from students and those attending our ceremony on Friday.  Collection boxes will be located in the Hub.

Parents of Grade Two Students:
All missed Grade 2 students who parents gave permission to participate in the University of Calgary, regarding the impact of fluoridation in the city's water will be seen on Nov. 19.  Should any parents of Grade 2 students who did not initially provide consent but are now interested in participating in the study on Nov. 19, please contact Ms. Low at kmlow@cbe.ab.ca for a permission form.

PLASTIC LIDS:
Joy Pod is looking for plastic bottle cap lids (brown, white/clear, yellow, orange, green, red, blue and black) to use in a recyclable art project.  These lids can be found on pop bottles, milk jugs and other drinks.  Please think of us when recycling these lids...we will need a TON!!!
