CPL Summer ProgrammeOne of our classmates shared information gathered from the Glenbow Museum about the First Nations People in Canada. Fractions and decimalsWe looked at the relationship between decimals and fractions today. We learned about the place value each number holds after the decimal place. We had the chance to use an interactive website to help us better understand this concept.
Updates...Parents: We are quickly developing a 'messy and dangerous scooter' situation inside the school. Unfortunately, we do not have any space anywhere to store scooters that are brought to school and are not locked up - we have had a few students leaving them just inside the front door, but the number is quickly growing and that situation has become unsafe with the scooter clutter making entry/exit for students and parents quite perilous. Therefore, we are going to align our expectations for scooter safety with both Tuscany and TMC policies and respectfully request that ALL SCOOTERS COMING TO SCHOOL MUST BE LOCKED UP ON THE BIKE RACKS. Here is a link we found with some ideas for locking up scooters. Beginning Monday, June 11/18, students will NOT be allowed to leave their scooters inside the school anywhere but must lock them up at the bike racks. Thanks so much!

WritingWe reflected on our trip to Glenbow Ranch yesterday and had students write a story using Glenbow Ranch as the setting. Students were given a choice of planning templates and were able to choose if their story was going to fictional or experience based.
