Happy Tuesday Feb 16, 2021

Reminders:

Welcome back after a long weekend everyone!

Reading...Give it a Shot 

BHS has enrolled in the Calgary Flames reading program.  Students will be bringing home tracking sheets to monitor how much they read each day.  Can you please sign the spot needed if they are reading at home?  

When your child reads 30 minutes they will earn one reading card. I have sent home a green folder with the sheet to track your minutes! Once they collect all 24, they can move onto the bonus card collection of Harvey the Hound doing funny things! To earn these new cards students must read for 60 minutes. The reading competition started Monday, January 18^th and ends March 26^th. Teachers will be tracking totals in order to hopefully win a virtual visit from the Calgary Flames. The more they read… the more chance we have of the Calgary Flames visiting our school virtually!   

Thank you for your support and work with encouraging your child to read!  

Go Flames Go! 

Apologies for not sending home cards today! We were doing a science experiment at the end of the day and I ran out of time.

- As a fun way to get introduced to temperature, cold and warm we did a blubber experiment!

- After watching the Magic School Bus in the Arctic we did the blubber test. This helped us to learn about some of the arctic animals we covered the previous week and experience how the blubber provides warm to animals! We will re-explore this concept later in the unit when create our own insulation projects.

Health

- Continue exploring ways to solve conflicts such as, "Make a compromise"

- Ways to work with others

Have a great evening everyone!
