Inline skating!
Today was our last day inline skating. Students enjoyed the week learning how to skate, stop safely, and played some games! Some students were able to practice skating backwards as well!

We look forward with meeting you all again next week! 

In social studies we have been reading traditional, modern and informational stories to help us develop a greater  understanding of indigenous cultures. Many of the stories are about animals with special abilities. These are some of the stories we read this week. Ask me what the stories are about.                
                                             

During in line skating we played Red Light Green and gained more confidence in our skating skills. We always remember our safety rules!

We had a great first day of in-line skating!

 Students listened carefully to Jenna, our Alien in-line instructor. 

In this photo, she is providing directions for putting on and taking off all of the equipment.

Rule # 1

 Helmets are first piece of equipment to put on 

and last piece of equipment to take off

Rule # 2

No crashing,

No bashing, 

No smashing

Today students practiced a quick way of getting -up and skating forward. 

If you have a helmet at home, you are encouraged to bring it to school for this week of skating.

The  delicious breakfast on Friday was a great start to March Nutrition Month 

Our meals were served by the farmers and growers of Alberta who produced all of the food.

This week we will continue to discuss nutritious snacks and foods and find out more about 

'where our food comes from.'

The book 'How Did That Get in My Lunchbox'

helps to explain the processing of our food before it gets to the store.

 Ask your child, what they think is a healthy, nutritious snack.
