September 23, 2019 Room 5 begins swimming tomorrow, Sept. 24 and continues Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and Monday-Wednesday of next week. Here are some things to remember: - Students need to bring their swimming suit and towel in a waterproof bag. If your child chooses to wear their suit under their clothes in the morning, remind them to bring a change of underwear. :) Students may bring small goggles, if they have them. - Jewelry is not permitted in the pool. Long hair should be tied back or put in a cap. - We leave the school ~9:20 for our 10:00 lesson. The lesson ends at 10:40, so we should be back at the school around 11:00. - Thank-you to everyone who is volunteering for swimming! If you have not yet paid for your swimming please submit it online or send in cash or a cheque. Please be at the school a few minutes before 9:20.

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!

As we find out information, we will communicate it to you here. http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/alexanderferguson/teach...
Reminders: Homework: Continue to read every night at home. Students should be able to quickly and accurately recall addition facts to 18, and the related subtraction facts. If your child needs additional practice at home and you would like some suggestions of different ways of practicing the facts, please contact me. We will begin adding and subtracting larger numbers soon, and the quick recall of facts allows students to be more proficient in calculations and apply them to problem solving situations. Picture Day on Tuesday. Students are dismissed at noon on Thursday, Oct.10. There is no school on Friday, Oct.11 (PD day) and Monday, Oct.14 (Thanksgiving.) Watch for info coming soon about volunteer opportunities this year.
