Hi parents,
We had another pretty good day today. In the morning we had a whole-school assembly about Family Literacy Day, which is tomorrow! Please see the bottom of this post, or yesterday's post, for more information.
We learned about some of the 'signature foods' of Alberta, and discussed how more often than not, the foods that are most popular in a community are also the ones that are easily accessed there. For example, how 'bison', 'beef', and 'canola oil' are all Alberta classics, but sushi, bananas, and kangaroo are not really things Alberta is known for. However, we also discussed how in modern day, a place like Alberta is full of diversity, so we do still have opportunities to try foods that are not naturally produced in our region.
It would be great if you could talk with your child over dinner tonight about where different foods come from! When we work with our Artist in Residence next week, that's going to be a big focus, so having some prior knowledge would probably help students get the most from the experience.
On that note - please let me know if you are interested in volunteering for any / all of our Artist in Residence sessions! We will be working with clay. :) Here are the dates and times:
Monday, Jan. 30: 9:00 - 10:00
Thursday, Feb. 2: 10:30 - 11:30
Tuesday, Feb. 7: 9:00 - 10:00
Wednesday, Feb. 8 12:30 - 1:30
Please send me an email at zalink@cbe.ab.ca and let me know which days you are interested in. Thank you in advance!
We did two rounds of Daily LA today. We learned how to draw a traditional Chinese dragon. We also listened to the story of Lunar New Year.
Tomorrow is our spelling quiz, as well as Family Literacy Day. Have a nice night!
Zac
