We are looking for 43 2L pop bottles (empty and clean.) We want to make terrariums with the students to grow plants. If you can send these into us, we will be very grateful. Thank-you in advance.

April Calendar

Inspector Kesia came from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) as a volunteer with The Classroom Agriculture Program (CAP) to share with us more information about the importance of agriculture in their every day lives. Inspector Kesia taught us about the food they eat and where it comes from as well as opportunities in agriculture. Inspector Kesia also taught us about the economic and environmental impact of agriculture in Alberta. 

















Did you know a dairy cow drinks 80-160L of water each day in order to produce 27L of milk? 


We learned about the different people involved in making sure our food is safe as it goes from the farm to our kitchen table. We even got to dress up as the different inspectors. Aren't they adorable?

Did you know that there are 5.5 million head of cattle in Alberta?

Science: Refraction Challenge
City of Ember


We were looking at whether a number was divisible by 3 today when doing our number talk. We were using division and skip counting to figure it out. Did you know there is a faster way? If we use the divisibility tests, we can do it without paper and pencil. The divisibility tests seem to work by magic; but there must be an explanation that shows why they aren't magic. They sure are helpful in increasing our automaticity and efficiency when estimating. Why do you think these divisibility tests work?
