Inquiry:  Our bean seeds went crazy over the weekend. We have been acting like scientist and taking observations everyday. Our observations can only be what we see, hear, smell or feel with our senses.  Ask me about: What did you notice about your seeds today?

The grade 1's loved Willy Wonka and were so excited to share their favourite moments in writing today.  Stampede Pancake Breakfast (May 25)  We are excited that the Calgary Stampede Downtown Attractions Breakfast Committee will be hosting a FREE Stampede Pancake Breakfast for our entire school community on Friday May 25th.
