JOY POD
It was a busy short week in Joy Pod. The weather cooperated and we were able to enjoy the outdoors on our breaks. Our week culminated with a fabulous Peace Assembly presented by Kindness Pod. We had a special guest join us today, Mr. Chris Usih, the Chief Superintendent of the Calgary Board of Education. He was able to tour the school and was able to see the amazing learning that takes place at Eric Harvie School.
Just a reminder if you want to see what is happening at Eric Harvie School you can follow us @EricHarvieSchl

Each group of learners in math are working on building their number sense. Here are some quick things that you can do at home to make connections between home and school.
We have a number of LOOOOONNNNGGGG overdue books out. Parents and students can you please check at home and return or renew books.
Students have started to work on the Showcase of Learning connected to our Inquiry Projects and Open Minds Experiences (Glenbow Museum, Telus Spark Science Centre, and Vivo) .
