Glenbow Museum - Field Trip

Today we had a great experience during our field trip to the Glenbow Museum. We learn about the First Nation culture and their costumes. Also, we learned about first the communities of Alberta, especially the long journey to reach Alberta by train in the late 1800's. Please ask your child about their favourite part of our field trip.

Needs and Wants In Inquiry, students are discussion the difference between Needs and Wants. Students brainstormed and discussed in small groups their personal needs and wants.
