**************************************************************
Students had an opportunity today to work with Ms. Wendy on their puppets.  Thank you to the parent volunteers who have helped us out with this.  Please mark your calendars from 6:15-7:30pm on May 23, 2019 when we will be sharing all of our learning around this worthy project

**************************************************************
In math, our Joy Pod Mathematicians have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes.  Many of the students have shared the book, The Greedy Triangle  by Marilyn Burns.  It is a great story that gets us thinking about the many polygons.  Take a few minutes to share the video with your child and discuss polygons that we have in our homes.

Mark you calendars!:
OUR THIRD ANNUAL GLAZED 8 DONUT RACE WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY, 
JUNE 2, 2019! 

The Glazed 8 is a race of varying lengths for kids, adults, families, and friends that combine two of the best activities around: running & eating donuts. And, the bonus of the event is that all money raised goes towards our community - specifically, Eric Harvie Elementary School and new this year, Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation. We are in the third year of the event, have donated close to $4000 and eaten nearly 500 donuts and 2500 Timbits!

Please check out our Instagram and link to our Eventbrite page for more information.

*** Don't forget to have your child read their home reading books and return them everyday for a new one. 

 Spark Students Reading Interests
All of our students are developing their reading skills and begin to gravitate to books or series that they enjoy.  A great link to help your child find new authors/ series based on their "I just loved...." books check out this link called What Should I Read Next
