Joy Pod
Inquiry: We continued our inquiry focus through the lens of "Play." Students worked in different groups depending on their choice. Ask your child if they went to 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!
The Calgary Book Truck Came Today... if your child has public library books at home or brought new books home today, please make sure these get returned in two weeks.
