Wednesday April 17

Reading in the Joy Pod:
Students have been working on learning different reading strategies for figuring out new words such as "skippy frog" where they skip over the word, read to the end of the sentence and then hop back and go back and reread the sentence using the context to figure out the word.

Ms. Ross'  and Ms. Chang's Inquiry Groups

The students of Ms. Ross' Museum Group and Ms. Chang's Vivo Group will be participating in a Nature BioBlitz on Monday, April 29th from 1:20-2:20.  We will be heading outside with the challenge of documenting all the nature we can find using ipads.  We are going to see how Calgary's nature stacks up to cities around the world! Calgary will be under a total Bioblitz and compete with cities like Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco and over 100 others in an attempt to document and identify all things wild!
