Joy Pod

Cross-Curricular Time (CCT): Some of us read a book called "Audrey". Audrey's class was performing a play, but kids in her class forgot their lines. However, Audrey helped her classmates remember the lines and she saved the play!
Some of us played the Thumb Ball game. Ask me how to play the Thumb Ball game!

InquiryWe continued our inquiry focus through the lens of "Play."  Students worked in different groups depending on their choice: photography, sketching, wire sculptures or playdoh sculptures. 

Our overarching question for the rest of the school year will be "How Play Connects Us?"  This inquiry will lead us to student choice on an upcoming field trip venue with Campus Calgary/ Open Minds.  
More information to come!  We are excited for the possibilities of this inquiry!

Please return these as soon as possible as their is important information teachers need to make groups with the pool people..  You should have received an email earlier this week or on the week from your child's responsibility teacher sharing which group your child is in for swimming.  This information will help you choose the correct group/time to volunteer in:
