Hi Everyone, We miss you!  I just wanted to check in to let you know that I am thinking of you and hoping that you are all safe. These are unsettling times, and we are sure that some of you are feeling overwhelmed. We have been at school this week and we promise you, it isn't the same without you all here.  It’s very quiet!  It is the first day of Spring Break, please enjoy the time with your families. Get outside for some fresh air, eat well, and have a good nights sleep! Read a good book! Learn a new board game!  Taylor Voth Information Items: K-6 Parent Supports from the CBE website: https://www.cbe.ab.ca/programs/curriculum/learning-at-home/Pages/k-6.aspx Scholastic is currently offering a ship to home option if anyone would like to order books. http://www.scholastic.ca/ Check our blogs regularly after the break.  As we find out information, we will communicate it to you here. http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/alexanderferguson/teaching-learning/classes

Seeds for Science

Hello parents! If you are outside this weekend/week with your child, please look for seeds to bring in to class next week. Students can look for seeds in the wild or in their yards. We are looking for a wide variety of seeds, so they can also bring in seeds from fruit/vegetables in the kitchen or from seed packets. Please label the seeds in a bag, if you know what type of seeds they are. We will collect the seeds all next week to use during science for our Plant unit this month. Thank-you for your help!
